Pizza Crescent Roll Ups
I found this idea on pinterest. After looking at the recipe, I added a couple of ingredients to make it more “pizzeria” style. These make a great after school snack. As well a great Bento Lunch box idea!
INGREDIENTS:
1-2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 can crescent rolls
Pepperoni Slices (you will need approx. 40)
4 cheese sticks (cut in half)
Sprinkling of Garlic Powder
1/8 cup butter, Melted
Pizza Sauce or Spaghetti Sauce.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray cookie sheet, pizza pan…with cooking spray and then sprinkle with a tablespoon or 2 of cornmeal. Coating the pan evenly with the cornmeal. (This was a bonus…it made it taste like something out of a pizzeria to me.
2. Unroll the crescent rolls. I found it easier to just work one and a time. Separate each crescent roll.
3. Place 4-6 slices of pepperoni at the widest end of each crescent roll.
4. Place half a slice of a cheese stick in the center and roll up. I try to close the ends of the roll ups as best as I can. You will have a small amount of “Cheesy Bubbling” coming through when fully baked.
5. Sprinkle each crescent roll with Garlic Powder.
6. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them. Oven temps do very!
7. Once out of the oven brush each one with a little melted butter. Serve with warmed pizza sauce.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bowls For Ice Cream
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Butter Flavor Shortening
1/2 cup Butter, softened
2/3 cup White Sugar
2/3 cup Packed Brown Sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl cream together the shortening and butter. Then mix in the sugar and brown sugar until combine.
3. Add in the egg and vanilla.
4. Add about a fourth of the flour mixture to the wet mixture. Continue adding small amounts of the flour mixture until combine.
5. Stir in chips.
Letting it Freeze:
Now….
There are two different ways to complete the next couple of steps….I will give you both so you can choose which is easier for you.
You can form the dough in to a ball and place in a plastic bag and freeze for an hour.
You can go ahead and ROLL the dough out between two piece of wax paper. I try to roll my just a smidge thicker than I would if I were making a pie dough. Once rolled out I gently lift off the top layer of wax paper and take my biggest circle cookie cutter and press down. I replace the wax paper and again…..gently lift the cookie dough with wax paper onto a cookie sheet or sheet cake pan. Freeze for an hour.
6. If you place your dough in a plastic bag….after you freeze you will want to roll it out.
7. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
8. Take a muffin tin and turn it right side down and line the muffin bottoms with foil and spray with cooking spray. You will need to line every other one.
9. Take the cookie dough and form it around the lined muffin bottoms. This could take a while. I found it best to make sure the dough stays cold. Sometimes I would even place the dough back in the fridge while I worked on one.
10. Bake for 11 minutes or until just starting to brown in a 375 degree oven.
11. Once done let cool for 5 to 10 minutes on the muffin pan. Then remove and set aside for them to completely cool. It was not hard at all to remove the bowls. They lifted right off the pan. Left the foil on until the bowls are cooled completely.
12. Gently remove the foil and add in ice cream. You could also add in brownies, cheesecake….even make it a bowl for holding fruit and fruit dip.
My kids loved it. We made these for father’s day!

Frozen Glitter Grapes
So Good! So easy to make! Perfect during the summer.
Ingredients:
Bunch of Grapes
1 (3 ounce package) Jell-o gelatin Any flavor of your choice, not prepared. Generic works just as well.
Directions:
1. Rinse Grapes under water. Patting almost dry with a paper towel. You don’t want them dry….you need some moisture on them for the gelatin to stick.
2. Roll a bunch of grapes in 1/3 of the box of gelatin. After you have a grape coated put onto a plate and continue until all grapes are done. Adding Gelatin as it gets low. ( I used lime Jell-0 Gelatin)
3. Place in freezer for a couple of hours. Then they are ready to enjoy.
~Enjoy!~
Note: I tried placing the gelatin in a baggie and putting the grapes into the bag and just tossing. It really didn’t get all the grapes coated to my liking. So I just ended up rolling 4 or 5 at a time on a plate until all were coated.

Mummy Candy Bar Treats
So cute to give to your favorite Ghosts and Gobelins!
Supplies needed:
Scissors
White Crepe Paper (I found mine at the dollar tree. I paid $1.00 for 2 rolls of it)
Black scrapbook paper or construction paper
Glue (stick or squeeze bottle-I actually used both)
Googlie Eyes ( I bought mine at the dollar tree for a $1.00. It has 125 Googlie eyes. It was the LAST package left. )
Full Size Hershey Chocolate Bar
Creating the *Mummy*
This is VERY simple to do! Perfect craft for having those kiddo’s help!
Cut out a black square piece. This does not have to be perfect and glue 2 google eyes to it. Then glue it onto the candy bar.
I used the stick glue to place the paper onto the candy bar. I used the squeeze glue on everything else.
Starting at the bottom on the front of the candy bar. Glue down a piece of the crepe paper and hold it secure. Then start wrapping your candy bar to form your *mummy*.
My crepe paper was a little to wide for my liking. So as I went around the candy bar, I folded it in half and it worked perfectly. When finish tear off the crepe paper from the back of the Candy bar and glue in place!
I am going to be making up about 16 of these. I am going to give some to the kids that ride the bus with my boys at the bus stop. I might even make some for my kids teachers. This took me less than 5 minutes to make.
I found this idea from The Idea Room.
