Rice Krispy Treat 'Surprise' Eggs



These tasty treats are great for a Easter party. They're a little sticky while making them but it's so worth it. The best part about these is that there's a secret surprise inside the eggs. I hope you enjoy them!


Gather
6 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups rice krispies
3 tbsp butter or margarine
frosting
sprinkles
small candies
crisco (forgot to add in photo)
plastic egg




GO
Make the rice krispy treats according to the back of the cereal or marshmallows but don't put them in a pan.




Take the plastic egg and put the rice krispy treat mix into the egg but don't fill it in. to make it easier  rub crisco on your hands so it doesn't stick. (If it's sticking to the egg rub crisco in the egg to)




Do that until you think you have enough eggs. Then in the smaller piece add 3-4 small candies in each. 



Then place the top onto he piece with the small candies

.

Now you can decorate the eggs just the way you want.



You now have some yummy easter eggs that will make your day!


Enjoy!



The frosting made these a little too sweet so you might just want to add sprinkles. But other than that these are the best! If you shake them when your done it'll sound like a maraca.

Mini Doughnuts

                                                     
Have you ever imagined having biscuits for dessert? Now you can! You can have biscuits for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and now dessert! They are really easy to make just, shape, fry, and decorate. Now lets get cooking!

                                                                     Gather
                                                     1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar
                                                           1 tablespoon of water
                                                          vegetable oil for cooking
                                               1 pack of refrigerated biscuits (10 biscuits)
                                                             1 cup chocolate chips
                                                 sprinkles (forgot to add in picture below)


                                                                             GO
        Open the biscuits and make a big hole in each using your fingers. (The hole will shrink as it cooks)  
                                 Mix the water and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth.

Pour the oil in the pan and add the doughnuts when they have a bubbly reaction to the oil. Cook for 8-10 seconds on each side. Add the glaze as soon as you take them out the pan. (Have an adult supervise you when working with hot oil)
                            Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave safe container for 1 min. and stir.
            Dip one side of the doughnuts in the melted chocolate and add sprinkles while it's still wet.
Enjoy!

Now, wasn't that fun? I sure enjoyed making these! The oil was the trickiest part, but the rest was easy. My favorite part was the sprinkles and of course tasting them. (I ate 3 1/2 doughnuts)

Bacon wrapped, brown sugar lil' smokies



These are delicious! I was the first to get one and I couldn't stop until they were gone.

Gather
Brown Sugar
Beef or pork lil' smokies (I used beef)
Bacon (I used turkey and pork)
Cinnamon sugar (optional)
Oven-350 degrees



GO
First take your bacon and cut them in half. As you can see I used 2 different kinds of bacon to compare the two.

Then you lay a piece of bacon on a flat surface, lay a lil' smokie at the wider end (at this point you can sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on the smokie)( I forgot) and roll the smokie up in the bacon. Add a toothpick in to hold it all together.
Next, sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the bacon. Mmmm
Finally pop it in the oven for 40 minutes
 Let cool on pan for 5 minutes and enjoy.
 They go fast so you better be first in line.
Just to let you know the pork wraps tasted a little better than the turkey wraps. Even though I don't really eat pork. The turkey wraps were a bit to meaty.
But other than that this would be perfect for a gathering. But like I said they go fast so you better make a lot. They were gone that same night.
