Peep Sushi

By -
I am sure you have seen this - it's been all over the Internet. It's a fun twist on Rice Krispie treats -- and what we made for Miss Sarah to take to her Daisy Meeting tonight. (it was our snack night!)

Start with a basic batch of treats -
1/2 stick butter
10oz bag marshmallows
5 cups cereal (the recipe calls for 6 but I think it is too dry!)
I pop the butter and marshmallows (yes, they are bunny marshmallows! They are the last of my huge post Easter score last year) into my Tupperware Stack Cooker 3 Qt casserole and zap on high for 2 minutes, remove to stir (with my silicone spatula) and zap 1 minute more. Then I stir in the cereal and put into a lightly greased rectangle cake pan. Wet your hands with cold water and then press it into the pan - the water keeps it from sticking to your hands!
Let it cool.
Now it's time for the Peeps and Fruit by the Foot for your "seaweed".
Cut your cereal treats into rectangles.
Put a Peep on top and wrap with the "seaweed". I cut the Fruit by the Foot into 3 equal pieces -- the hard part is the end that has the "loop". It doesn't un-loop and might split on your peep if you wrap it too tightly. They do "morph" into the cereal bar on the bottom so they stay put nicely.
Done!
Easy Peasy!

Tomorrow -- I might make Easter Hand Rolls... a little different!

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
