Easy Treats for Easter

BRIGHTON, Mich - Finally! Spring is in the air and Easter is right around the corner. For as long as we have waited for this time of the year, who would want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen when they could be taking advantage of the beautiful weather? This is why we are sharing Easy Treats for Easter that are time savers and are simple enough for the kids to help out with! These Easter treats all require similar ingredients so feel free to make one or all three of them!

Easy Treats for Easter
This is the perfect treat to set out on the table as a snack or divide up into bags to hand out to family and friends. Spread the pretzels, popcorn and Chex cereal on a foil covered baking sheet. Melt the white chocolate on the stove, then drizzle over the mix and stir to coat it all evenly. Add the sprinkles and let harden on the cookie sheets. Break apart into a large bowl or bags, add the M&M's (or whatever candy you choose) and ENJOY! 

Ingredients: 2 cups pretzels
1 bag popped white popcorn
1 package white melting chocolate
1 bag of festive M&M's 
2 cups of Chex cereal
1 container of colored sprinkles
Parchment Paper
Baking Sheet


Easy Treats for Easter
So festive and adorable! Once you have melted your chocolate over the stove, remove it from the heat and add the pretzel sticks to the melted chocolate. Stir carefully until they are completed coated. Form the pretzels into small "nests" and let harden. You can then use the extra chocolate as a "glue" to garnish the top of the nests with M&M's Speckled Eggs or whichever candy you choose!

Ingredients: 11-ounce bag of Milk Chocolate Morsels
2-3 cups of pretzel sticks (broken in half)
M&M's Speckled Eggs (or candy of your choice)
Parchment Paper

Easy Treats for Easter
This recipe is easy as pie and is a definite crowd pleaser! Once you have made your Rice Krispie Treats, cut them into small squares - or an egg shape with a cookie cutter if you're feeling festive. Melt the bag of chocolate on the stove and then dip the treats individually into the chocolate. Set on parchment paper and add sprinkles or candies before the treats harden.

Ingredients: 6 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal
10oz mini marshmallows
1/4 cup of butter (1/2 stick)
1 bag of chocolate candy melts
1 container of sprinkles
Egg-shaped cookie cutter (optional)
Parchment paper

Brighton Ford's Role in Brighton Musical's "Grease"

Brighton Ford's Role in Brighton Musical's "Grease"
BRIGHTON, Mich - When we received the stripped 1951 Cadillac from the students of Brighton High School, we had just a few thoughts. Something along the lines of "why, this car could be systematic, hydromatic, ultramatic. Why, it could be GREASED LIGHTING!" Brighton Ford's Role in Brighton Musical's "Grease" was to help the three Brighton High School students transform an old Cadillac into Danny Zuko's dream car. With a little elbow grease and a few coats of paint, we had the 1951 Cadillac looking better than new and ready the spotlight!

Over a few weeks, we painted the car with an eye catching candy-apple-red finish. It was glossed to perfection and returned to the students just in time for rehearsals. We attended one of the seven shows - which all ended up being completely sold out - and couldn't believe how amazing the car looked up on stage. The entire "Grease" performance was terrific, they had the entire audience dancing and singing in their seats. The show really portrayed all of the hard work that was put in by the 105 participating students. We are so proud to have been apart of such a wonderful production and work with the amazing students of Brighton High School. Congratulations on all of your success!

Ford MyKey Promotes Safe Driving in Fleet Vehicles

Ford MyKey Promotes Safe Driving in Fleet Vehicles
BRIGHTON, Mich - MyKey is a helpful tool known for encouraging safe driving habits amongst teen drivers who are headed out on the road. So useful in fact that it is becoming an attractive feature for fleet owners. Ford MyKey Promotes Safe Driving in Fleet Vehicles, by helping drivers remain alert and aware of their surroundings when on the job. Joe Dougherty, president of Kentucky-based Louisville Paving Company, finds that the MyKey helps with his worker's concentration when they are on busy, loud construction sites. Dougherty has 30 company vehicles equipped with MyKey, allowing the owners to program a key limiting a vehicle's top speed and audio volume and encouraging wearing their seat belt. The MyKey technology also prevents phone usage when on the job, routing all incoming calls straight to voicemail on paired phones.

For Dougherty, and many other companies where there is potential for high-risk safety situations, Ford MyKey brings another level of safety and security to employees. Distractions from the radio, phone calls or text messages are no longer an issue when an employee is on the job with the MyKey feature. Many companies with fleet vehicles do have safe driving guidelines, however, Ford MyKey is the perfect addition to reinforce those basic rules. Some of the features and settings available on the MyKey are: limit vehicle top speed to 80 mph or lower, issue a warning when the vehicle is at or within 5 mph of reaching the preset maximum speed, limit vehicle's entertainment system audio to 45 percent of maximum volume, sound a chime and mute the audio system until safety belts are buckled, route incoming calls to voicemail and issue a low-fuel warning when the fuel tank is one-eighth full.

Ford MyKey Promotes Safe Driving in Fleet Vehicles and will help ensure workers are as safe as possible when driving on the job. If  you're looking to utilize the MyKey feature yourself or for your new driver, visit us at Brighton Ford!
