The following four recipes are posted because our cute nephew needs to put on a little weight.
2 cups honey graham cereal
1 cup tiny marshmallows
1 cup peanuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 raisins
In a medium paper sack or large plastic bag combine all ingredients and shake the bag well. (Obviously, your child's favorite part, because they can do it!) Store in a tightly covered container. Makes about 5 cups.
Mix and match your favorites for your family!

Peanut Butter Mustache Maker

*2 large marshmallows
In a sauce pan heat milk till tiny bubbles form around the edges. (DON'T BOIL) Pour into blender.

I usually add more peanut butter, and sometimes put a drizzle of chocolate over the top. We make this for the boys for a special treat when they have friends over.

Honey Bees
These are a great way to give your kids a healthy and fun snack. When I babysat these were always a favorite!
*2 TBS. wheat germ
* 2 TBS. sesame seeds
* 1/3 cup powdered milk
* 1/2 creamy peanut butter
* 1-2 TBS. honey
* sliced almonds
*cocoa powder
Mix peanut butter and honey together. Add seeds, germ, milk. Chill for a half hour in fridge. Pull off nickel- quarter size pieces and shape into a bee shape. Place 1 sliced almond on the two long sides of your bee. Then dip a toothpick in water and dip into the cocoa. Last place your lines on your honeybee with the toothpick. I stick them back into the fridge for about twenty minutes. This usually makes about 30 bees.
Let your kids help with this one, it is a ton of fun! I will post a picture later!
