Spring Marshmallow Bunny Ears Tutorial

Spring Marshmallow Bunny Ears Tutorial

How to make DIY Spring Marshmallow Bunny Ears Tutorial!
These colorful Rabbit Ears are so cute and easy. If you have a bag of marshmallows, sprinkles, and kitchen scissors that you are all set for creating these beauties. These are a wonderful idea for using as cupcake toppers either for Easter or any Spring occasion that calls for desserts.

These Marshmallow Rabbit Ears are an adorable and unique way to decorate with food crafts at this Easter's Dinner. The kids and special guests will get a kick out of these Marshmallow Bunny Ears since it's out of the ordinary and it also reminds me of Peeps- yet they are homemade DIY style:)
I actually made the colorful sugar sprinkles myself, yet you can purchase colorful sugar sprinkles to create the same effect.....or DIY it like me.

Rainbow Trix Krispie Treats


Rainbow Trix Krispie Treats

How to make Over the Rainbow Trix Krispie Treats for a party, event, birthday, or St. Patrick's Day.
These treats are similar in texture as the famous beloved rice krispie treats only they are made from Rainbow color Trix cereal.....fun right! My kids loved this project and they loved eating them too when we were done making them together as a family.

We already had everything we need right there in the house. This recipe project was fast, quick, easy, and inexpensive to make because we already had the ingredients on hand ready to go.
Basically this is a 3 ingredient project! Ready to make some treats?

http://sweethaute.blogspot.com/2015/03/rainbow-trix-krispie-treats.html


Supplies:

6 Cups Rainbow Trix Cereal
  -mini
  -large
3 Tablespoon Butter
Large Bowl
Spatula
Wax Paper/ Parchment Paper
Non-stick Cooking Spray

Serving Size: 16

Step 1:

Spray pan/ baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2:

Warm up marshmallows (the whole bag) or jar in a bowl with 3 Tablespoons butter in microwave. Warm for 45 seconds. Stir.

Step 3:

Warm in microwave for 45 more seconds. Stir until fluffy and smooth.

Step 4:

Add in 6 Cups of Rainbow Trix cereal. Combine by folding.

Step 5:

Quickly pour mixture into flat baking pan and even it out across equally. Let cool for marshmallow to set, cut and serve. Parchment paper or wax paper is good for this step.

DONE.
Individually wrap with a piece of wax/parchment paper in between if you are using for an event or bringing them to school etc!
 

Tip: Cut up into portions and separate with wax/parchment paper and store in an air tight container. In humid climates you may need to place in fridge to set before cutting treats.

St. Patrick's Lime Green Milk + Free Printable Leprechaun Mustache

St. Patrick's Lime Green Milk + Free Printable

Make your own Lime Green Milk for St. Patrick's Day Breakfast this year. You can make green eggs and ham with 'Lime Green' Milk...just serve it with eggs and bacon.
This is a cute idea for the kid's breakfast this weekend or the morning of St. Patrick's Day.
You can even get the kids involved in the kitchen to prep these totally cool milks!
I've included a FREE Printable Green 'Leprechaun' Mustache to decorate your straws, this will most certainly make for a memorable St. Patrick's Day morning!

Supplies:

Milk
1 Tablespoon Lime Jello Powder
Straw
Whipped Cream
Scissors
Paper


Step 1:

Pour Milk into large cold glass. For smaller glasses use less Jello Powder.


Step 2:

Add 1 tablespoon of Lime Jello Powder to the milk and stir until combined and smooth.

Step 3:

Print out Green Mustaches and cut a opening at the top of mustache and bottom of mustache and thread the straw through.

Step 4:

Top lime green milk with Whipped Cream.

Serve immediately.

Green Mustache FREE Printable

You can cut them out with either printer paper or card stock but I merely did mine with printer paper and made them into rectangles so that the mustaches didn't get 'curly'. It's really humid where I live so I do not like the paper to become warped.

http://sweethaute.blogspot.com/2015/03/st-patricks-lime-green-milk-free.html


These can also be cut into a oval shape if you want a rounded look, then thread the straw through.
Then of course you can cut them exactly out in the shape of cute mustaches, but I wanted to share my time saver tips and 'curly' paper tips.

This milk actually is sort of refreshing because of the Lime flavor, and the kids really loved it!
