I wanted to share two cute cooking ideas that would be cute for advent activities:
Baby Jesus Haystacks Ingredients: • 1 package choc chips • ½ cup peanut butter • 4 cups chow mein noodles • mini marshmallows Directions: 1. Melt choc chips and peanut butter together for 1 min in microwave, stir and microwave for additional 1 ½ min until melted. Add chow mein noodles and stir with 2 spoons/forks as tossing a salad. 2. Drop onto waxed paper. 3. Add a marshmallow to represent baby Jesus.
Edible Manger Ingredients: • paper baking cup • chocolate pudding • shredded wheat cereal • pretzel nugget • mini marshmallows Directions: 1. Fill baking cup half full with chocolate pudding. 2. Have each child shred one shredded wheat biscuit over the pudding to represent the hay. 3. Place the pretzel nugget on the hay to represent the body of baby Jesus. 4. Top the pretzel nugget with a mini marshmallow to represent the head of baby Jesus.
