Dr. Seuss' The Lorax Inspired Food Ideas

Pin It Now!
Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is in theater. Have you seen it yet? My son is a big fan of Dr. Seuss. He was so crazy about The Cat In The Hat, and now The Lorax!

This healthy Lorax theme snack was made out of Babybel cheese. Same as my Babybel cheese Angry Bird, both were not difficult to create but took times.



I used: goat chedder Babybel cheese, cheese slice, candy eyes and food markers.

Chocolate Bird Nest on Spoon for Easter

Pin It Now!
















After Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's Day, it's time to move on to the next holiday: Easter. No, I didn't forget about St. Patrick's Day. I just don't have any new idea for it yet.
Same as 99% of my dessert recipes, this chocolate nest is easy to make. It takes very little time, no special tool required and no big mess to clean up after ^,^ It would be a fun project for you and kids to work together!

These are what you need:
1/3 cup chocolate chips, mini chocolate eggs, chocolate sprinkles (the kind you put on ice cream) and  8- 10 plastic spoons (I found these in dollar store)





Here is how- to:

- Microwave chocolate chips at half power for 45 seconds.
- Stir

- Microwave at half power for another 45 seconds.
- Stir until smooth

- Dip spoon in melted chocolate
- Remove extra chocolate from the spoon

- Make sure there is only a thin layer of melted chocolate on the spoon!!!

- Place mini chocolate eggs on the spoon
- Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles



- Give it a few hours to set before serving











PS:
- It would be a cute Easter treat to sent to school!

- You can use different kind of spoons!

- You could also serve these on Mother's Day or baby shower!

- Because there is only a thin layer of chocolate on the spoon, the chocolate eggs on the spoon can be pulled off very easily. I gave these to my son and his friend. The boys ate the eggs first, then they licked the chocolate on the spoon.
I got a even better idea! Why not eat the eggs first, then dip the spoon to a cup of hot chocolate!
