Snack Day!!

By -


Miss Sarah is snack helper this week - so we bring a treat for the class each day.

Being so close to Halloween - we are playing around with the concept of Trick Or Treat! Are we playing a trick on them or is it a real treat?
:)


Today, everyone gets a bag of crayons at snack time -- this is not my idea, I saw them Our Best Bites (they have a TON of super cute ideas!)

Here is how we made them: start with the Butter Spindle pretzel sticks - they are thicker and longer than the normal skinny ones and a package of almond bark (easy to find at Target or Farm and Fleet for about $2)

We melted some white chocolate in the microwave ( cube = about 60 seconds) and added a little food coloring. 1 cube will do 20 pretzels - so I only used 6 cubes, or half a block of the almond bark.  We dipped ONLY the ends, as you see here:
We did several different colors:

Now, comes the wrappers!
The sheet makes 15, you print them out on colored paper,
then you cut them apart to wrap around the pretzel sticks.
Get the template HERE:
This is what they look like when they are done:
All we did was bag them in groups of five, and pop into a basket.
Each little person will get five crayons.
Total cost?
$1 of almond bark and half a bag of pretzels (which cost me $.50) for a grand total of $1.25, for 20 kids.

What else is on the schedule?
White mice, pumpkin spice spider muffins,
and mini caramel apples!
I promise to share

    OMG, that is the cutest thing ever. Love it and will have to steal it for my son's class when he has snack week next. Thinking of fall/Halloween themed ideas, found this blog last night and she made a pumpkin veggie plate. Will be doing this for the kid party soon.

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
