Bake/Cook/Make Day Saturday
Saturdays are set aside to spend some quality, fun time in the kitchen with your child.
Snowman Treats:
- 9 pieces candy corn
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup creamy peanut buttery
- 34 round butter-flavored crackers or oreos
- 12 ounces white candy coating, coarsely chopped
- 34 miniature chocolate chips
- 34 milk chocolate M&M's
- Licorice pieces or assorted colors of decorating gel
- Remove the yellow ends from candy corn. Cut each candy in half length wise; set aside.
- Spread peanut butter over half of the crackers; top with remaining crackers to make sandwiches. Or just use oreo cookies.
- In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip sandwiches in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper.
- Immediately position chocolate chips for eyes and mouths and add a reserved candy corn half for the nose. For earmuffs, place an M&M on either side of face, connected with a piece of licorice or a strip of decorating gel. Let stand for 30 minutes or until set.
They look like little snowballs!
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup chopped almonds
- In a small bowl, cream the butter and 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar. Add flour and vanilla; mix well. Stir in the almonds. Shape into 1-in. balls.
- Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 13-16 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown and cookies are set. Cool for 1-2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Roll in remaining confectioners' sugar.
