Baseball season is beginning! I made these last year for Carson's team--HUGE HIT! And they are super simple to do!
Grab your favorite Rice Krispie treat recipe and instead of putting it into a 9x13 pan, put them into muffin tins (be certain to spray with cooking spray or rub with butter!). Let them set to cool. While they are cooling, melt white chocolate in a double boiler (or your preferred method). Remove Rice Krispie "Balls" from the muffin tin and dip the top into the white chocolate. Let them set on a cooling rack to harden. (You can choose to double dip them in the white chocolate for a thicker, frosted look!) When they are set, take a red frosting decorator pouch (or use your own homemade frosting and pipe it) and draw the baseball stitching on the Rice Krispie! Tada! Super easy, tasty and KID APPROVED!
I have a fun idea for this years team--but you'll have to wait to see those! Be a pal and share this via Facebook, Twitter, G+ or Pinterest! Have a great day!
I love Halloween ( well, it is my birthday!)! But seriously, I love the creepy things and the fun creative ideas out there! And who doesn't love the costumes?!? I found this idea a few years ago in a Halloween cookbook, but tore the recipe out so I'm not sure of the exact resource. It's easy to put together and fun to eat! I bagged up a few, added a cute little tag and gave to some friends when we went to a pumpkin picking bonfire on Sunday. Try them out this Halloween!
What you need:
1 package of plain donut holes
1 tub of vanilla frosting
1 tube of mini m-n-m's
1 tube of red writing gel
Prepare a baking sheet or working surface with wax paper. Put about 1/2 of the vanilla frosting in a bowl and microwave it for 15-25 seconds until it is smooth and thin. Dip the donut hole in the frosting (I used a toothpick to do this step), and place on the wax paper.
I dipped about 3 donut holes, stopped and put 1 m-n-m eye in the center of the donut hole before the frosting had time to set. Continue until all donuts have been dipped and eyes have been placed.
Next, put in the frig or freezer for about 10 minutes to allow the frosting to firm up. Then snip off the end of the red gel (I cut mine too far done and it was a thicker line than I wanted, but oh well!) and drizzle on the blood shot eye look.
Package them up to give to your neighbors or friends!
Happy Haunting!
