Fun Snacks 4 Kids brings us these delicious-looking mallow pops!

~ Large Marshmallows ~ Melted Chocolate ~ Sprinkles ~

Rach says:

Place 2 large marshmallows on a skewer (or I prefer cheap swizzle sticks = cute). Melt the chocolate and/or caramel. Dip the skewered marshmallows in caramel and then chocolate. Place on waxed paper and sprinkle with your favorite sprinkles or toppings.

Stacy, over at Kids Stuff World, submitted these adorable penguins from Moutain Pulse.

PENGUINS

~ Boiled Eggs ~ Baby Carrots ~ Olives ~

Directions:
1. Hard boil the eggs. Drain, set aside to cool then peel.

2. BODY: Cut a small slice off the wide end of each egg. (Cut the slice so that the penguin can stand up on its own.).

3. FLIPPERS: Slice three olives in quarters lengthwise. Cut a small slit down each side of the”body” of an egg and insert one olive piece on each side.

4. CHEST: Cut approximately 1/2″ sliver of black olive lengthwise. Make a tiny slit down the middle of the hard boiled egg and carefully insert the olive sliver.

5. HEAD: Place one toothpick down the center of the top (narrow end) of each hard boiled egg. Attach the whole olive with the hole in the center of the penguin’s face.

6. NOSE: cut six small triangular pieces of carrot or bell pepper-large enough so that it will fit snugly in the olive hole and not fall out. Place the carrot or bell pepper piece in the olive hole.

7. To serve, arrange the soon-to-be endangered penguins on an irregularly shaped piece of styrofoam.

Chocolate Dipped Candy Canes
 

~ Candy Canes ~ Chocolate ~ Hot Chocolate Mix ~

Melt some of your favorite chocolate. I used milk chocolate chips and melted them in the microwave for 1 minute at a time. Then dip the candy canes into the chocolate. I dipped them on both sides because I didn’t know which way people may like it, but I like the tops dipped and then use the stick to stir. Lay them on wax paper to cool.

Now dip them into your favorite Hot Chocolate Drink and ENJOY!!!

MMmmmmmmm.
Doesn’t that look DELISH?

Koala Biscuits

~ Cookie Dough ~ Popsicle Sticks ~ Embellishments ~

Make any cookie recipe you would like.  Paula used ginger cookies. Click HERE for her recipe.

Roll the dough into a large ball and two smaller balls and place as shown:
 

Push a popsicle stick into the large ball until  you can feel it on the other side.
Flatten the balls over the stick:

 
Bake as directed on your cookie recipe.

Let them cool then decorate.

Paula used mini m&m’s for eyes, oval jubes, sugarpaste flowers for the girls (a bit Hello Kitty don’t you think. *Hello Koala*??). Used royal icing to stick them down. You could use melted chocolate.

Arrange pretzel squares in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Place a Wilton’s melt on each pretzel and bake for 5 minutes at 150 degrees (or until the chocolate is soft). Press M&M (or other holiday candy) in the middle of the melt.
