Christmas Reindeer
My children love to make these. They are
easy and cute. You will need:
- Pretzels (The 2 inch size work better
than the ones that are dollar coin size.)
- Melted white chocolate
- M and M’s (South African smarties)
- Whole almonds
Lay the pretzel on a sheet of wax paper and
fill the three pretzel "holes" with white chocolate, a teaspoon
works well for this. Then put matching M and M’s in the two smaller
holes, for eyes. Just place them on the chocolate. Then place a red M and
M just below the eyes, in the larger space, for the nose. The almond
"ears" go above the eyes and a little to the outside. Break
pretzels to form "antlers" and set then between the ears. The
melted chocolate is your "glue". Let it set up and then munch
away. The kids love to give these to friend.

Peppermint Bark
Here is another fun, easy and yummy little
kid cooking recipe, this is what you need:
- Candy canes
- White chocolate
Melt a bag of white chocolate chips and
have your child spread it on waxed paper. It doesn’t have to be
perfectly smooth. It looks like bark remember. Then place the candy canes
in a bag and let them smash away with a rolling pin. Sprinkle the crushed
peppermint over the still sticky melted chocolate. When it is dry and set,
break into pieces like peanut brittle.
