These are GREAT for Thanksgiving snacks.

Chocolate Pretzel Squares

~ Pretzel Squares ~ Wilton Melts ~ Holiday Candy ~

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.

Super EASY!!
Super CUTE!!

This would be great with Christmas candy too!!

{ Thank you TRACY for sharing this FUN Nummie!! }

This cup of cocoa is just the right temperature for your little one!!
Serve a cup of steaming cocoa with this fun sandwich.
Don’t forget the marshmallows!!

~~~~

Hot Cocoa

~ Sandwich ~ Marshmallow ~ Pretzel Sticks ~

Make any sandwich you want.  Cut the top off of the sandwich and then cut a half circle out to create the handle. Squeeze the handle into a tighter circle to make it smaller so it looks better on the side of the sandwich. Use a large marshmallow for the whip cream and two pretzel sticks for decoration.

Now all you need is a blanket and a good book!!

Celebrate our forefathers by making your sandwich into a fun set of Pilgrim accessories!

~ Sandwich ~ Graham Cracker ~ Chocolate Bar ~ Jam ~

This sandwich is just your favorite type of sandwich accessorized with clever cutting and a graham cracker buckle! I used jam to indicate the hat band, but you could use a slice of cheese or whatever is best compatible with your sandwich.

Cut bread as diagrammed!

Happy Thanksgiving!

A little history lesson while enjoying your Nummie!!

MAYFLOWER

~ Bread ~ Cream Cheese ~ Pretzel Sticks ~

Cut two pieces of bread in half.  Make half of a sandwich with two of the pieces.  Cut the other two pieces in half again to make the sails.  Spread cream cheese on them and stick them together with Pretzel sticks.

Very simple and basic.
I am sure you can make this as elaborate as you want.

This simple Tipi, or known as Teepee, is fun for all kids.

You can also make this and do a history lesson at the same time!

~~~~

TIPI

~ Tortilla ~ Cheese ~ Lettuce ~ Carrot ~ Embellishments ~

Cut a tortilla in half.  Cut a triangle shape out of the straight edge of one of the halves and wrap the tortilla around to create a tipi. I used butter to hold the tipi together at the ends.  Sprinkle cheese on the other half and place tipi on top of the cheese.  Place in oven at 350 degrees until cheese is melted and tortilla is crispy.  Once the tipi is out of the oven, use shredded lettuce for the grass, thin carrots for the poles and cereal for embellishments.

Make your own tipi. Be as creative as you can!!

It’s TURKEY time!!

~~~~

Tom Turkey

~ Bread ~ Peanut Butter ~ Embellishments ~ Pretzel Sticks ~

Spread peanut butter or anything sticky on 2 pieces of bread.  Cut one piece into 5 pieces (as shown) for the feathers. Set the other piece of bread on top of the feathers as shown. Use whatever you would like to decorate each of the feathers.  I used swirled choc caramel chips, broken pretzels, raisins, cheerios, and mini choc chips.  Use 2 choc chips for the eyes and a piece of cracker, chip, candy corn, or whatever you have for the beak.  I stretched out a red gummy for the wattle/snood and used broken pretzel sticks for his feet.

Your kids will GOBBLE him up!!!

Same idea as the Witch Hats, but they are Pilgrim Hats.

~~~~

Pilgrim Hats

~ Pillsbury Creation Dough ~ Cinnamon ~ Sugar ~

Take a can of pillsbury creation dough and cut it into rectangles.  Stretch out one end as you roll it up twice.  Use non stick spray or butter to coat them and sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top. Bake as directed.

Embellish with whatever you want, or eat them as is.

Don’t you just love the leaves blowing in the wind this time of year?

Have your kids choose a leaf and make a sandwich out of it!!

~~~~

Leaf Sandwich

~ Bread ~ Peanut Butter ~ Honey ~

Cut, or cookie cutter, a leaf shape out of a piece of bread. I just followed the shape of the leaves my girls chose. Spread peanut butter and honey on another slice of bread.  Put the pieces together to make your sandwich.  Use a knife to draw the leaf pattern into peanut butter and honey.

Love the falling leaves!!
