Recipes Kids May LOVE!

I love to cook. I love to try to recipes ... Especially snacks and desserts.  I found a product section on BettyCrocker.com and I have feel in love with it. :o)

Here are a few I found on BettyCrocker.com under the 'product recipes' section using cereal.

1. In 3-quart saucepan, heat sugar and corn syrup to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter until blended. Stir in cereal. Cool slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Lightly butter hands. Shape 1 to 2 tablespoons cereal mixture into a ball around each candy. Immediately roll in candy sprinkles. Place pretzel stick into each cereal ball.

Substitution

A spray of cooking spray works as well as buttering your hands when shaping these treats.

Wrap in plastic wrap, tie with a ribbon and tuck in a lunch bag for a special treat.

There's a lot more recipes on the website but I thought these were cute. I'm sure JD and I are going to be doing quite of few things like this next week since he's out of school for Thanksgiving break.
