Dr. Seuss Food | Cat in the Hat Rice Krispie Treats

Hosting a Dr. Seuss Party? Ready for Dr. Seuss Day on March 2nd? Whatever the special occasion, we all love the classic The Cat in the Hat. Celebrate Dr. Seuss with one of your favorite characters in Rice Krispie Treat form! No one can mistake that red and white hat filled with mischief and fun! Make Dr. Seuss Day memorable with a tray of these at a party or even an after-school snack with friends! They’re so easy to make, let the kids join in the fun of stirring and decorating!

Ingredients:

Ingredients for Rice Krispies:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
Two 10 oz. bags of mini marshmallows
10 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

Ingredients for Dr Seuss Rice Krispies:

2 T solid shortening
3/4 cup Wilton white chocolate melts
9 large red Airheads candies (or red fruit roll ups)
Black write-on gel
Red write-on gel

Directions:

Directions for Rice Krispies:

Spray a 9 x 9 pan with Pam and set aside.
In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly.
Once the marshmallows are melted, remove from the heat and stir in the cereal and optional salt until well-coated.
Using a rubber spatula (spray with Pam for easier handling), transfer the cereal mixture to the prepared pan and press down firmly and evenly.
Allow the Rice Krispies to cool in the pan completely.

Assembly Directions for Dr. Seuss Treats:

Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
Cut the prepared Rice Krispies (from recipe above) into 6 even long rectangles.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the solid shortening for 40 seconds or until melted.
Add the white chocolate melts and stir until completely melted.
Immediately coat each Rice Krispies stick with the melted white chocolate and place on the baking sheet to “set” for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut each Airheads piece into 2 pieces lengthwise. You will have 18 pieces total.
Once the chocolate on the Rice Krispies is dry, take an Airhead piece and wrap around a Rice Krispies stick at the very top of the stick. Pinch at the back to seal.
Wrap another Airheads piece around the stick about 1/2-1 inch down from the top one. Pinch at the back to seal.
Repeat step 7 with another Airheads piece. Complete steps 6-8 until all of the Rice Krispies have 3 airheads pieces alternating with white chocolate for the hat.
With the black write-on gel, pipe two eyes, a nose and whiskers on each stick.
At the very bottom of each stack, pipe a large “X” with the red write-on gel. Fill it in with the gel to resemble a bow tie.

A twist on the traditional s’more recipe. Think outside your classic ingredients with this Ritz Nutella S’mores using marshmallow fluff on Frugal Coupon Living. Take a look below on how we went one step further with this quick and easy dessert.

Ritz Nutella S’mores

Pin to Pinterest

You probably know from all the S’more Recipes on our blog, we are a bit obsessed with the rich taste of marshmallow, chocolate and a little crunch. You might also remember from our S’mores Campfire Cones that we like to take a classic recipe and twist it up! Anyone else? Of course, a little twist to a s’more is trading your traditional chocolate for Nutella. But why not go one step further and twist of the traditional cooking your treat is placed on. This Nutella flavored s’more is placed on top of a Ritz cracker instead of your well-known graham cracker. If you decide to go a step further than we did, buy some melting chocolate chips and tip your finished product in the rich flavor of milk or even dark chocolate. Place on a cookie tray and cool in the refrigerator. Happy eating!

Ingredients:

Directions:

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Lay 24 Ritz crackers on the lined cookie sheet and generously spread Nutella on 12 of them.
Spread a heaping Tablespoon of marshmallow creme on the remaining crackers.
Place the Nutella and marshmallow creme crackers together, like a sandwich.
Enjoy and Share!

Yield: 12 S’mores

Optional: Consider dipping the cracker sandwich in melted chocolate and let cool!

Cute Cupcakes For Kids

Making Cute Cupcakes For Kids with Fun Designs: Mom and Kids Bonding Time

If you are thinking of a fun way to spend time with your kids or planning to have a quality time with them on the weekend, then look no further. Nothing beats bonding with your children with a little baking fun. Not as complicated as making Easter cookies. Just making simple cupcakes so that the kids can join the fun.

Instead of laying around on the couch all day on movie marathons, doing something together in the kitchen is productive and really fun. You get to have your children learn a thing or two about baking and give them a sense of accomplishment once they see and taste the result of your teamwork.

For starters, I will give you two recipes for cupcakes. One is for oven cupcakes in which you can also use a convection oven, and one is for microwave cupcakes. And then, I’m going to provide you with instructions on how to decorate the cupcakes using fun ideas. Don’t worry, it wouldn’t be as hard as making a blueberry and oat cake. It is very easy to do.

Give your kids some tasks along the way and make sure that they are hands-on with the decorating. Don’t forget to give them pointers about safety and sanitation.

Easy oven cupcake recipe

Ingredients

250g butter, unsalted
250g sugar
250g flour (self-raising)
4 medium-sized eggs
4 tbsp. milk
1 pinch of salt
2 12-cup muffin tray lined with paper cupcake cases

Directions

Preheat the oven to 200°C

In a large bowl, put the butter in to beat until it softens. Add the flour, sugar, salt, milk, and eggs. If you want to make chocolate cupcakes, use two tablespoons less flour and replace it with two tablespoons of cocoa powder. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth.

Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop to put a portion of the mixture to the paper cases. Make sure to put just the right amount each case to fill all the 24 cases.

Place the cupcakes in the oven and bake. After fifteen minutes, swap their places and bake for another three to seven minutes or until the cupcakes have light golden color.

Take them out of the oven and let the tray cool for a few minutes. Then take the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool. Now they are ready for the decorations.

But before we go to decorating, I’ll give you the recipe for microwave oven cupcakes.

Easy microwave cupcake recipe

This cupcake version is easier and faster to do. The challenge here is to be successful in preventing the kids from eating the ingredients before the cupcake gets done. You will see why soon enough.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons of full-fat vanilla or chocolate ice cream, depending on your preference of flavor. (I told you it is going to be a challenge for the kids not to eat it up)
2 tablespoons of cake flour
1/8 teaspoon of baking powder
Silicone cupcake molds

Directions

For starters, be sure to use cake flour and not all-purpose flour. It makes the cupcake drier and have a bread-like texture rather than cake.

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk it until the batter is smooth. Make sure that there are no chunks of flour visible in the batter. Put it in two medium-size or four small-size cupcake molds. Put them in the microwave about thirty seconds. Set aside to cool and be ready for the decorations.

Here comes the fun part! I have three kinds of fun decorations to do with your kids. If you want to look for more, you can search fun and easy ideas here.

Rainbow Decoration

Everyone loves rainbows! Especially kids. This is very easy and fun to do.

Ingredients

Your favorite frosting
Blue food color
Rainbow berry candy belt (like Airheads Xtremes)
Small white marshmallow (optional)

Directions

First, put a few drops of blue food coloring to your frost. Mix and add until it reaches a pale blue color. Apply it on the cupcake.

Bend a rainbow berry candy belt and stick the ends to the frosting. You can add small marshmallows as clouds to the part where the candy sticks.

Your rainbow cupcake is done.

Bunny Decoration

This cupcake topping is a bit more challenging than the first one, but cuter as well. This is good for Easter or for kiddos who just can’t get enough of our furry little friends.

Ingredients

White frosting
Brown M&M’s minis
White marshmallows
Pink decorating sugar or pink sprinkles
Pink ball sprinkle
Black licorice laces

Directions

Put the white frosting over the cupcake. This will be your canvas for the bunny face

For the ears, cut a marshmallow in half. Add the pink sugar or sprinkle on the center area of the cut part avoiding edges. Do this on both of the marshmallow halves. Place them on the top part of the cupcake where the ears should be.

For the eyes, use the brown M&M’s minis and put them where the eyes should be.

For the nose, put the pink ball sprinkle on where the nose should be.

Use the black licorice laces for the whiskers. Put three on each side.

Your bunny should be looking at you right now with its cute chocolate eyes.

Mustache Decoration

If you want to let your kids give their good old dad a treat for father’s day or for his birthday, then this is an easy and fun thing to give him.

You actually have three options here. You can use toothpicks and construction paper, fondant and icing writers, or chocolate molds.

Ingredients

Frosting
Fondant, Chocolate mold, or construction paper and sticks
The mustache mold which you can download here.

Directions

Put the frosting on top of your cupcake. You don’t have to download the mustache mold if you’re going to use the chocolate mold. Just put the mustache mold directly on the frosting.

If you prefer to use sticks and paper, print out the mustache mold, and put it on the construction paper. Cut away the mustache and put it on one end of the stick with glue. Make sure that the end won’t stick out on top of the mustache. Stick it on the cupcake.

If you’re going to use fondant, get black and white ones. Make small round white ones with the same diameter as the cupcake. This will be your canvas for the mustache. Use the printable mold as a pattern for the mustache using the black fondant. Cut it out using a paring knife or a kitchen shear.

Wait till daddy sees your masterpiece.

There you have it. Two easy recipes for cupcakes, and three easy decorating tips for you to choose from. This will definitely make your weekends fun and exciting. If you know someone that needs this recipe, go ahead and like and share. What do you think? Feel free to comment below for any questions or suggestions.

Hi friends, I’m Susan from http://www.cookthestone.com. I spent most of my time in the kitchen to make tasty meals for my family. The feeling when your husband and your kids are full with food cooked by you is amazing. I understand and want to share my experience with you. Hope they can help in your daily life.

Airplane Bingo (or Tic-Tac-Toe)

Pin to Pinterest

This was us me. Traveling with three minors and praying I would have enough to do to distraction my littles. The anxiety in the trip was actually prior to the day of the flights. I was very high strung trying to figure out, no only what to pack for our trip, but what to pack for the actual day of travel. In an effort to help myself with travel, I came up with our post Airplane Activities for Kids. I do that sometimes. I research my own needs and end up putting something fun together for you guys. I consider it a service to us both – wink!

During my research, I saw a lot of ideas for toddlers but I also wanted an idea for kids of young elementary age. That is why I came up with this printable Airplane Bingo. There are a few ways to play – honestly mom, customize it to your family, but here were my ideas.

Play the boards as a Tic-Tac Toe. First to spot 3 items in a row/diagonal, wins!
Play the boards as a Bingo (filling in all 9 boxes). First to spot all 9 objects, wins!
Play the boards with the provided printable markers to mark or cover your spot.
Play the boards laminated and use a dry erase marker to x (or o) what you find! This is the laminator we have (and love!) There are cheaper laminator options.
