Ball the parchment paper several times and it will go into the dish easier.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Great tip!

[@judithvigorito4548]

Thanks for the tip!

[@emileecarreker2994]

I was coming to suggest this!

[@pamelamckinney1527]

Don't put yourself down girl. You be you. You make some awesome treats.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you! 😍

[@kayamo1632]

Turn your pan upside down and mold the parchment to the outside of the pan. When you turn it right side up, it should slide right in perfectly.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Ahhh!! Such a good idea.

[@MadebyMeche]

I recently learned if you wet the parchment paper and ball it up it will sit perfectly in any pan - I tried it and wow, it worked!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Such a great trick!

[@IMOO1896]

This has been my go to for a few years. Cuts the stress out of dealing with parchment.

[@cheriejohnson145]

I love the cream cheese mints! We used to make them for every wedding, baby shower, you name it. The only difference is we pressed the mixture into rubber molds so we had leaves, roses, tulips, stars! It was a group effort and I have great memories of a bunch of us sitting around the table making mints. Thank you for bringing these memories back for me!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I love that!!!

[@beanie7547]

Bless your heart you need to order the precut parchment squares and circles. It’s better than all the fluff of trying to get that thick paper to work especially in small dishes.

[@chrystalbrown9600]

❤🙂

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh good idea!!

[@michaeldunn7716]

Hey, young lady! Don't be so hard on yourself! There is no way you can know all aspects of prep or cooking. 😊 I've been cooking for many years, holidays and all but I am still learning all the time! In fact, I've learned things from you too! Great video and presentation. I enjoy you and your family. God bless all here!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you so much! Yes, we can always still learn.

[@laurenc9857]

I think u can spray the pan and ball up the parchment then open back up (like a ball of foil) it helps it stay in the pan....

[@FeedingtheByrds]

That's what my friend Mandy said!

[@anitaholmes6824]

I swear I gained weight just watching you make these delicious treats.....my mouth was watering!!! Thanks for sharing, I love the no bake feature!!!!

[@chrystalbrown9600]

The cream cheese mints turned out so pretty🙂 ❤

[@FeedingtheByrds]

They really did!

[@Daphne-cp8ss]

9:07 love the description, candy ball things. 😊 If it involves peanut butter you have my attention. A quick candy that's no bake is 1 package chocolate chips, half a package butterscotch chips. Melt over double boiler. Add half to one package chow mein noodles and mux well. Drop by spoonfuls on parchment paper and let set. I have also added raisins , craisins or dried cherries on occasion.

[@magaperson3402]

My sisters and I just made peanut butter balls last weekend. My granddaughters love to help us roll the balls. I get the job of being the "dipper". LOL

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Ooo!!! Love this. I need to try it.

[@patroberts1111]

I spray bottom of pan with cooking spray then cut 2 pc parchment width and up sides each way in pan base, allows you to lift out and pull away after set. Allows you to cut perfect squares or bars.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Such a good tip!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yay! Love that you enjoy it

[@magaperson3402]

😂 Amber, I remember helping my mom make these cream cheese/powdered sugar candies for my wedding back in 1973! She had these little rubber type candy molds of roses, bells, and I think a leaf. You are right, they tasted good.

[@carolentringer8836]

ditto in 1978

[@FeedingtheByrds]

I love this!!! They are so good

[@bettyboop32]

Here's an idea.... when doing the peppermint patties, maybe dip them in melted chocolate!!! YUMMY!!!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

If you try it, let me know how it is!

[@roheis]

Homemade Junior Mints!

[@amandalee1959]

If you spray a little cooking spray on the bottom of the 8×8 and press the parchment paper down it will stay in place Love this hack ❤️

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Love it!

[@denisekirsch3759]

Spray your pan before you put the parchment paper down and it sticks down. Also scrunching parchment paper up helps. Great easy recipes! Thanks for sharing!😊

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Great idea!!

[@sortathesame8701]

Actually, if you leave the top of the graham cracker peanut butter mix a little rough, your chocolate topping will nestle into those tiny spaces and stick to the bottom layer really well! When I smooth it out, I found the layers tended to separate. If you score the chocolate layer before it is 100% hardened I think you will find cutting it goes smoother.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh great tips!

[@bettyboop32]

I just watched your video from 3 days ago. I can totally relate about height. I was 5'3"; I recently lost an inch. I can barely reach my stove top when cooking. I have to sit on my walker to buzz around my kitchen. I am partially disabled. I can't walk long distances or from one room to another without struggling. So, I sit on my walker and buzz around my kitchen. I have a hard time holding my arms up when mixing food on the stove. If I wasn't partially disabled, I would stand on a footstool to reach into my instant pot or a pot on the stove. It's challenging. One of my best friends is 4"9', and she has to look up to me!!! I'm not that much taller then she is, which is funny. We joke about it all the time. So don't feel bad. Besides, being short has it's benefits. That means we have to have our husbands reach things for us. Shows them they are needed. 🤣 From other KZbinrs, they fold the wax paper on the bottom of your pan and then cut the corners so it fits inside the pan with a hang over this side. You got this!!!! God bless you and your family. ❤

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Loved reading this!! And yes, I am definitely dependent on him to reach things for me 😁😁

[@joyce9523]

I really enjoy your videos,You bake like me😊We could be besties😂😂😂

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thanks so much! 😊 These are definitely easy enough for even us non-bakers

[@JenniferHenderson-jm2el]

Amber, can you possibly mix food colorings that your son can have to achieve the green color that you were looking for? Also, to get into the corners of your baking dishes, I use the bottom of my metal measuring cups to press things down. It works very well for so many different recipes and it also helps to make it easier to have them level throughout the dish.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh great idea!! I'll try that out

[@nancykarause7325]

Spray the bottom of your PAN before you laid the parchment paper down that always helps.And then just a little bit of cooking spray inside the parchment paper.Will also help bring your other stuff out❤

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Great tip!

[@sharonwilson6465]

I literally just crushed graham crackers with my meat mallet a couple of hours ago. If you use the nobbly side it's so much easier 💚

[@magaperson3402]

LOL I use that little ol' meat mallet for lots of things. I use it also to crack my ice that I buy by the bag before I put it in my freezer.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Such a great Multi-use tool!

Hi. For those that can't have peanut butter, I am one of those, whenever a recipe calls for peanut butter I substitute unsweetened salted Sunflower seeds butter. I think it's not exactly the same taste, but I think it kinda tastes a little like peanut butter. Grin. 😊 Cali Lady

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Oh good tip!

[@ElizabethCoulter-h4u]

A trick I learned from another youtuber - crinkle up the parchment paper into a ball then open up and spread into your pan. It really does work and makes it so much easier to get it to stay in the pan

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yes, great tip!

[@CarolJaffe]

I use nonstick foil and it works great. I mold it to the pan upside down and it fits right into the pan.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Great tip!

[@sheena716]

We make the chocolate pb bars!! We always use the crunchy pb and we sometimes add sprinkles on the chocolate while it's still wet, soooo good!!

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Take your parchment paper and crunch it up and then straighten it back out it will stay where ever you put it

Crumble your parchment up to help relax it and then we reopen and use. Can also cut slits in the sides that go up the sides to fold easy in the tray. ❤

My parchment paper hack is put the sheet of parchment under the pan, cut the paper in towards the corners of the pan. Then flip over the pan and put the cut parchment into the pan.

First time watching you and you're great bc you're very relatable. When I make brownies or rice Krispy treats I cut 2 strips of parchment and spray corners with non stick. I also use a tad of spray to hold the parchment and t shape them. Then you are able to pull the bottom right up and out to cut.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

That's a great tip! I'm so glad you decided to watch. Merry Christmas!

[@marymasiakowski5042]

I wonder if cookie butter could be used instead of peanut butter

[@CindyKinney]

Parchment paper tips to try: Scrunch the paper into a ball with your hands as if you're getting ready to throw it away, but then unscrunch it and it will be less apt to move around. I have also seen Kelly over at "Kelly's Korner" use clothes pins to hold the paper in place until she's ready to pop the pan into the oven. I've never tried that, but it looked easy enough and it did hold the paper in place.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

These are great ideas!!!

[@NickiHorn78]

Everything looks so yummy! Thanks for posting

[@FeedingtheByrds]

You're welcome!

[@coolgoins3833]

I love you show. Parchment paper work, space we need to go into five pieces. Cut one to fit the bottom of the dish. Then measure the four side’s cutting about a inch higher than dish. Another way is a three way cut measure from one side across the bottom and to the next side leave these sides a little longer about 3 inches. Then cut the remaining two sides and put in place after your dish is finished you can use the one long piece to lift your dish from the pan.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thanks for the tips! Will definitely try this.

[@pamelacrowell2007]

Cut your parchment into 2 wide strips that will fit into the pan and hang over each side about 2-3 inches .... and use a binder clip to fasten to sides

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thanks for the tip!

[@karenminchers5606]

Crumple the parchment paper up first and it will fit better. I actually cut it into strips that fit the pan.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Nice!

[@bethwillard7795]

Blessings always

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Thank you!

[@roheis]

Set the dish on your parchment paper and cut from the edge to each corner. The paper will fold into the dish easily. For the mints, have you looked at gel food coloring? A small bit will yield a bright color. (Not sure if they make some that your son can have.)

[@FeedingtheByrds]

[@karenlivengood4027]

Take and cut the parchment the same size of the pan on both directions and take clips to hold the paper down on sides. I hope that made sense 😊

If you wad up your parchment paper first then spread it out in your pan and it will fit the corners better.

[@mindybrummett719]

Hi there I learned from another video I had seen on lining parchment paper is that if you roll it up like a ball or just really just half to wrinkle it and it will lay better or you can cut the corners it will lay better

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Love this!

[@dawnshaw23]

Spray the I side of ur 8×8 dish before placing ur parchment paper in.. or tip the pan over, fit parchment tightly over the pan..then flip dish over and paper goes in easier. Hope this helps! Happy Christmas early! 🌲💝

Crumble the parchment paper or you can also wet the parchment paper, the parchment paper is parched. Both of those options work well.

Spray cooking spray in your dish and lay the parchment paper straps. They stick to the pan and then you have perfection

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Great tip!

[@lynnkavanagh7361]

This is the way I do parchment paper. Put a piece on your counter & turn your dish over on top of the parchment. Cut along 2 of the sides (right & left) leaving enough so it will come up on the other sides ( top & bottom) to be used as handles to lift it out when you’re ready to cut into bars. Also when you’re pressing it down, you can also spray your hands with nonstick spray. Also spray the baking dish with a little too before you put the parchment in. Here’s a tip for cutting the bars, run your knife under really hot water, then quickly dry it & then cut. You may need to repeat the hot water step. As far as peanut butter & allergies go, my granddaughter has a severe peanut butter allergy. She can however have a product called “Barney Butter”. It’s sold in the peanut butter section. When I sent my husband to get some, he thought it was a type of butter & was looking among the butter & margarine!! If you have any guests that have a peanut allergy or any other type of nut allergy, they usually know what they can have as a substitute. Don’t be afraid to ask, people are usually grateful that you’re wanting to make sure it’s safe for them.

[@FeedingtheByrds]

Yes!! We have a few friends with peanut allergies so I am always cautious when we go to their homes. I hadn't heard of that butter before, though. Thanks for the tip on the parchment paper!
