Kid's Snack- Dessert Nachos!

What you need-

Flour tortillas, any size

Bananas

Strawberries

Chocolate syrup

Cinnamon /sugar mixture

Pam

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Cut tortillas in whatever shapes you like.  We did hearts.

2. Lightly coat each of the chips with Pam cooking spray.  Bake for 10-15 mins.

3. While the chips are cooking, take your bananas and strawberries and slice them up. 

4. Prepare your plate with a drizzle of the chocolate syrup.  Add about half of the bananas and strawberries on top of the chocolate.

5.  When the chips are crispy, take them out and VERY lightly spray with more Pam.  I am serious when I say just VERY lightly.  Sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar mix.

6. Put the chips on top of the strawberries and bananas, then top off with the remaining strawberries and bananas.  As a delicious finish to the dish, drizzle with more chocolate syrup.

Christmas Decorated Goodies!!!

                 Bake cupcakes.  Add a bunch of icing, a marshmallow on top and decorate with icing.

Dip pretzel sticks in candy melts or chocolate, and use your imagination to decorate however you want.  Nuts, sprinkles, M&Ms, coconut, and Andes peppermint pieces all work and taste great!

Rice Crispy Treat Ornament.  Just Decorate with icing, stick red and green M&Ms on with icing, a marshmallow and string of licorice on top, and that's all there is to it.

Santa Strawberries.  Cut the tops and bottoms off, fill and decorate with icing and put the bottoms back on.  A slightly more healthy Christmas snack.

Snowman Donuts.  decorate with black frosting, and i like to use candy corn for the nose 

Nutter Butter Reindeer.  Put the pretzel antlers into the peanut butter in between the two cookies, dip in chocolate and decorate with a red M&M and icing.

Kid's Snack- Mini S'mores

S'mores are probably the best snack ever created, but creating these magnificent marshmellow and chocolate sandwiches is far from practical for everyday.  Well, fret not, you can still enjoy these amazing flavors with just a few minutes in the kitchen.

Take some vanilla wafers, and spread some nutella on them.  Add three mini-marshmellows and then top with another wafer. Pop these little guys in the oven (heated at about 400*F) for just a few minutes, and enjoy.

These snacks are great for movie night, slumber parties, or even birthday parties.

Kid's Snack- Jello Slices

This is a neat little twist on jello that my daughter LOVES, and is also super easy.

Start with your favorite jello flavor, and a few oranges.  At snack time the day before you plan on serving the jello slices, cut the oranges in half and scoop the orange out with a spoon, leaving  the peel in tact-you can even leave a few chunks of orange in them.  Make up the box of jello, and instead of pouring the liquid into serving dishes, pour them in the hollowed, half-orange peels, and cool.  After a day, take them out of the fridge and slice them up.

For a fun little twist, use lime peels and pink,watermelon jello.  Then, when you slice and serve the treat, it looks like little tiny slices of watermelon.

Kid's Snack- S'mores Milkshakes!!!

When I think of summer, one of the first things that I think about is spending time outside, with campfires being on the very top of the list.  And what's a campfire without s'mores?!  Add in the summer classic of a milkshake, and you have an amazing snack you and your kids are sure to love!

This recipe is done in estimates.  I have never used a set recipe for this, which gives you the opportunity to add/subtract to your own preference.

What You'll Need:
Milk
Vanilla Ice Cream
Graham Crackers
Marshmellow Fluff
Chocolate Syrup
Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar
Blender

First, take a few scoops of ice cream and put them in the blender, with about a cup of milk and blend it well.  Add more ice cream to make your shake thicker, and more milk to make it thinner.
After blending your shake, take three graham crackers, crush them up very fine, and add them to the blender.  Then, add a few spoon fulls of marshmellow fluff.  Blend this very well.  Now, you add the chocolate syrup-just a little squirt.  Crush half of the chocolate bar very well, and add it as well.  Blend again for a few minutes, and serve.

Ideally, the marshmellow fluff will kind of stay separate, and the chocolate pieces will add a nice little chocolatey crunch.  Enjoy!

Kid's Snack- Dirt Cups

This is a very well-known snack used by school, daycares, and just about anywhere kids frequent.  And what's best, it's super easy to make.

What you'll need
Chocolate pudding
Gummy Worms
oreo cookies

Simply, add the pudding into a cup or bowl.  Put the gummy worms in the pudding so that most of the worm is hanging out.  Now, crush up the oreos and cover the top of the pudding.  Kids love it!!

Recipe- Make you own Soda!

I know that it is way cooler, and even more delicious(if you get it right) to make your own goodies.  Well, here's a goodie that MANY people consume on a daily basis, but is also something that you can create in your own home!

Ingredients
1/8 tbsp yeast (champagne yeast from a brew or wine shop or regular Red Star or Fleischmann’s yeast)
Coffee cup of warm water (98-110 degrees)
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 tbsp+1tsp soda flavor extract
A little less than 1 gallon of water 
1 gallon jug
2 2 liter bottles

Dissolve 1/8 teaspoon of yeast in a coffee cup of warm water for about 5 minutes. Yeast should be fresh. Too little yeast will not yield enough carbonation, too much will give the soda a "yeasty" taste and might burst your soda bottles. Water too hot or too cold will have the same effect as not enough yeast because in cold water it will stay dormant and in too hot water it will be killed off.
Then mix 2 ¼ cups of white sugar, 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon of flavoring extract, the dissolved yeast and enough extra water to make 1 gallon together in the gallon jug. Shake to mix for about 2 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved in the water. Pour ½ the mix into each of the two 2 liter bottles, cap tightly and wait 4-6 days. You can tell how your carbonation is coming along by just squeezing the bottles. If they get too firm open the cap and let off a little of the carbonation.
