Globlins

It's that time. We get to make fun Halloween stuff to send to preschool. I don't think we are supposed to send homemade things to the elementary school, but I might try it anyway. The older kids are already whining about not getting to take them.

Anyhew..... I thought I would share the recipe. I basically picked this one because there is a girl in Jenna's class that has a food allergy to dairy and nuts. This SHOULD be safe.

6 cups kix cereal
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 cups miniature marshmallows
12 drops green food color
24 orange circus peanut candies
24 candy coated chocolate candies
red string licorice cut into 24 one inch
pieces

1) line 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper in a large bowl place cereal

2) .in a 4- quart sauce pan, melt butter over low heat add marshmallows, stir until completely melted. remove from heat stir in food color. pour marshmallow mixture over cereal in bowl stirring until well coated

3 ) for feet place 2 peanut candies on a cookie sheet. spray the inside of 1/2 cup measuring cup with cooking spray .for the body fill sprayed 1/2 cup measuring cup with warm cereal mixture place over feet releasing cereal mixture and covering back half of the feet repeat with remaing peanut candies and cereal mixture to make 12 globins immedaitely attach chocolate candies for eyes insert licorice for antenna.
