Sweet Summer Treats (that kids can help make)

While stuck in the house, we have made a few fun sweet treats with the kids.
(Seriously, I don't go anywhere- which is why we can do things w/ a newborn- the t.v. can only entertain for so many hours a day...☻)

Cookies-n-Cream


(Adapted from an idea in Family Fun Magazine, July -09)


Blend together


about 2 cups half-n-half


1- 8 oz. container cool whip


When that is well mixed, add 1/3 package oreos. Crush them in a zip lock baggie so they are still really chunky.


Add about 6-10 starlite mint candies-crushed in large chunks. I used a zip lock baggie and rolling pin to crush these up.


Stir in the cookies and candy. Freeze in small cups or cones. When frozen, break up and serve in a glass!YUM!


BEACH IN A CUP


(similar to idea from Her Cup Overfloweth)


Michelle inspired me with her little Sharks on the Beach snack- but we changed ours a little ☻


Blue Yogurt (Yoplait Go-gurts come in blue or you can add a drop of food coloring to vanilla yogurt)


Graham Crackers- crushed up


Shark fruit snacks from Albertons or Gummy Fish






DIRT IN A CUP

(this one is a classic)
Chocolate Pudding Cup

Crushed Oreos

Gummy Worms or Gummy bugs

Hi Sharla

I have recently come across your blog and enjoy meeting other creative and crafty mums in the blogosphere.

Cute summer creations and ones I know my little ones would love to help out with.
