Holi-Day


This post is about a holi-day. There is a kids DIY craft along

with a recipe for kids and adults to enjoy while spending time together.


First....

Gingerbread art; what you'll need is craft paper, craft paint and a metal gingerbread cookie cutter. Let your child dip the cookie cutter into

different inks to arrange their perception of art.




Kids snack; This recipe has 20 servings.

What you'll need:

1 can salted large peanuts

1/2 11.4oz bag Christmas M&M's

1/2 11.4oz bag Christmas peanut butter M&M's

2 bags sour cherry balls (small)

2c mini pretzels

2c mini marshmallows

Chex muddy buddies (how to make next)

Chex Muddy Buddies;

9c rice chex

1/2c creamy peanut butter

1c semi sweet chocolate chips

1 1/2c powdered sugar


Create:

Start by making the chex mix so it has time to cool.

In a small microwave safe bowl, add the peanut butter

and chocolate chips. Microwave for 1 minutes and stir, add up

to another 30 seconds until everything is smooth and creamy.


Pour the chocolate over the cereal in a large bowl and stir to combine.

Place half of the powdered sugar in a large ziploc bag, add half

of the chex and seal shut, shake to coat the cereal. 


Pour out onto parchment paper or a cookie sheet to cool and repeat

with remaining cereal and powdered sugar. In a large bowl once the muddy buddies are cool, add all ingredients and toss to combine.


Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.




Adult drink; Cranberry Mimosa

Combine 1 part cranberry juice and 2 parts champagne or sparkling

wine into a champagne flute. Top with fresh cranberries and a sprig

of rosemary if you want to go with the extra touch.


Follow the crafts with your family's favorite Christmas movie

while you eat the snack and enjoy your drink.
