Juice box robots

We also made juice box robots for my sons treats. We used hot glue to put them together.

We used two mini candy bars for the head, two starburst for the neck, air heads for the arms (I would have used laffy taffy but I couldn't find any), then rolos for the legs (they are sitting down because they kept falling over when I glued them to the bottom.

Here is what they looked like when finished.

cake batter rice crispy treats.

I made cake batter rice crispy treats for my sons class treat at school and they were amazing.  Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp. butter
• 40 regular sized-marshmallows
• 1/3 cup yellow cake mix (the dry cake mix, not prepared into a batter!)
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 (1.75 oz.) container of sprinkles

Method:

Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat and add marshmallows. Stir until they begin to melt, adding in (dry) cake mix one spoonful at a time so its combined. I measured out my cereal into a bowl and poured half the sprinkles in with the cereal and added to melted marshmallows (doing this will have the colors from the sprinkles run a little bit but tons easier to get out of the pan when the rice crispy treats are still warm. Press into a baking dish (any size will do, I used a 9x13) and top with how ever many sprinkles you like. Let sit for about 30 minutes before cutting.

here is what mine looked like.  This pan is a huge pan and took 3 batches of rice crispy treats to fill it for my sons class.  I did get 30 treats from it though.

something new

I am going to post about food, crafts and other things I make.  I want to be able to have a log of what I have been doing so this seemed the best way to keep track.
