  • FATHER’S DAY LAWN MOWER RICE KRISPIE TREATS

    FATHER’S DAY LAWN MOWER RICE KRISPIE TREATS

    Ingredients:

    Tip: Save time by using pre-packaged Rice Krispie treats! Or you can make your own if you prefer the homemade taste.

    Directions To Make Treats:

    1. Cut the flexible straws in half. Discard the bottom half and keep the end with the flexible part.
    2. Take 2 of the straws and fold the flex part and attach these together by pushing one inside the other. It will look like a “U” shape.
    3. Spread a layer of red frosting on top of each Rice Krispie treat, then place a a Rolo candy piece in the center of each.
    4. Take one straw “U” (these are your lawn mower handles) and push the ends into a Rice Krispie treat, on one side. Repeat with each Rice Krispie treat until all have attached “handles.”
    5. Take apart 12 of the mini Oreo cookies and scrape out the filling. Use white frosting to attach 4 of the cookies to the sides of each Rice Krispie treat to look like wheels.
    6. Scoop the remaining white frosting into a small mixing bowl and add a few drops of green food coloring gel. Stir until well mixed; add more coloring drop-by-drop until you reach your desired shade of green.
    7. Spread the green frosting on 6 graham crackers to resemble grass. Gently place a lawnmower Rice Krispie treat on top each graham cracker, pressing slightly so that the “lawn mowers” will attach to the “grass.”
    8. Allow to set and enjoy!

    Nutter Butter Mom’s High-Heeled Shoes

    Ingredients:

    • Nutter Butter cookies
    • Tootsie Roll Midgees
    • Chocolate candy melts
    • Icing flowers or other edible decorations 

    Directions To Make Treats:

    Form the Tootsie Roll toes ~

    1. Soften four Tootsie Roll Midgees in the microwave (10 seconds or less).
    2. Roll them together and flatten with a rolling pin.
    3. Using a 1-1/4-inch round cookie cutter, cut a circle from the flattened Tootsie Roll.
    4. Position the cookie cutter in the center of the Tootsie Roll circle and make another cut to form a half-moon shape.
    5. Mold the cut Tootsie Roll over the end of a Nutter Butter cookie to form the shape of a shoe toe.
    6. Remove the shaped Tootsie Roll from the cookie and set aside.
    7. Repeat these steps with as many cookies as you wish to make.

       

    Create Tootsie Roll heels ~

    1. Soften two Tootsie Roll Midgees in the microwave (10 second or less).
    2. Roll them together and form a heel shape with a slight angle to accomodate the cookie when it’s attached.
    3. Repeat these steps until you have a heel to go with each toe.

    Assemble the shoes ~

    1. Melt 1/2 cup chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Using a toothpick or paintbrush, apply a line of candy melt along the front rounded edge of a cookie. Attach a Tootsie Roll toe, and mold it in place with your fingers. Repeat with remaining cookies. Allow them to dry and harden.
    2. Dip the angled parts of the Tootsie Roll heels in the candy melt and attach them to the bottoms of the cookies. Allow them to dry and harden.
    3. Put a small dot of candy melt on the bottoms of the icing flowers and attach them to the Tootsie Roll toes.

    Directions To Make Treats:

    1. Work on the wax paper …

      1. Insert the wood stick about half way up the cookie and separate the cookie … add a small amount of melted candy … put cookie back together and let candy harden. (This step is very important … my cookies fell off the stick when I skipped this!)

      3. Place 2 orange Reece’s Pieces as the feet … 2 yellow ones for the wings.
