Kid Friendly Christmas Recipes

[tracey]

Do you guys have any fun easy recipes for kids?
Last year we made Reindeer Noses, they were fun for Emma (she's 4). I am looking for other things she could easily help with.


I saw these Doughnut Snowmen that look cute and easy for little ones. I think we will do some of these too.

Thanks for these recipes Tracey. I just made the Reindeer Noses with my little guy and it was a hit.

I'm making the pretzel ones for a party on Saturday, except I use just regular little pretzels, but the squares are cuter! lol

We had chocolate mice last night! They were so cute!!!

Basically you take a maraschino cherry and dip it into chocolate. While holding the tail (aka stem), put a hershey kiss on the end of the cherry. You have to hold it for a few seconds to let the kiss and cherry seal together. Then let them dry and dip the whole thing in chocolate. Add some slivered almonds for ears and some red icing for eyes.

They were yummy!!!

Here's a recipe that uses chocolate chips instead of hershey's kisses....

The reindeer noses look so cut! I might try them with Snickers, though! YUMMY!

I made the Reindeer Noses (they weren't called that) using caramel kisses to mix it up a bit, and they ROCKED. I also didn't use the waffle pretzels ... just regular small ones. They are super easy to make, and they are a hit!
