Back to School Snacks


Chew on Your Pencil

Ingredients


  • Cheese sticks
  • 1/2-inch-thick slices of bologna
  • Mustard
  • Bugles corn snacks
  • Raisins
Instructions


For each pencil, cut off one end of a cheese stick so that it's flat. Use a paring knife or apple corer to cut a 3/4-inch circle out of the bologna.
Dab one end of the circle into the mustard, then attach it to the flat end of the cheese stick.
Snap off the end of a Bugle so that its edges are even, and gently press it onto the other end of the cheese stick. Slide half a raisin onto the Bugle for the pencil tip, and you've got a snack that's just write!

                                                   Two-Tone Sandwiches
Ingredients
  • 2 slices of bread (one white and the other whole wheat, roughly the same size)
  • Cookie cutters, 1 large and 1 small (ours measure 3 1/4 inches for the hand and 1 1/2 inches for the heart)

Instructions
  • Set the 2 slices of bread on a cutting board. Cut out the centers of each with a large and a small cookie cutter.
  • Swap the center cutouts, so the wheat bread has a white bread design and the white has the wheat, then assemble your sandwich.

Back to school snacks!! Yummy



                                                        Blackboard Cupcakes
Ingredients
  • Yellow, green, and white frosting
  • Cupcakes
  • Red Skittles or M&M's
  • Small plastic bag
  • Rubber band or twist tie
  • Chocolate-covered graham crackers
  • White Good & Plenty candies
Instructions


Cover the cupcakes with yellow frosting and allow them to sit for an hour before decorating. Dab each red Skittle or M&M with a bit of green frosting for the apple's leaf, then set them aside.

Put a tablespoon or two of white frosting into a small plastic bag for piping. Cut a very small hole in a corner of the bag, twist the top of the bag closed, and secure it with a rubber band or twist tie. Piping the frosting gently out of the hole, write messages on the chocolate-covered graham crackers. Leave space at the bottom of the cookie, where it'll be stuck into the cupcake.

Cut a groove in the cupcake's frosting with a knife, then fit a blackboard into the groove. Add one Skittle or M&M apple and a piece of Good & Plenty chalk, as shown.
