Earth Day

April 22nd 2013 is Earth Day!

How about trying out this fun and easy baking activity with the children, based on the recipe for rice crispie treats!


Basically, just your basic rice krispie squares recipe with food coloring added.

1/4 cup margarine

40 regular marshmallows

1/2 tsp. vanilla

6 cups rice krispies

green and blue food coloring

Melt margarine and marshmallows over medium heat in a large pot, stir in vanilla and rice rispies.  

 

Divide into two bowls

 

Add green food coloring to one bowl and blue food coloring to the second.

 

Stir

 

Allow the children to take a scoop from the blue bowl and a scoop from the green bowl and mash them together in a ball (the earth).

 

Set the balls aside until completely cool.
