Happy Father's Day

Father's Day is almost here! What DAD doesn't love to kick back with a great treat? Kids will love this "hands-on" activity with their favorite ingredients!

 Materials Needed:
3 C. Rice Krispies Cereal (or any other puffed rice cereal)
1 C. Sugar                                         1 C. Butterscotch Chips
1 C. Karo Syrup                                1 C. Chocolate Chips
Mini Chocolate Chips                      1 C. Peanut Butter
Licorice Strands                                Marshmallows
Lollipop Sticks                                   Wax Paper
Gumdrops (or any candy treat you would like to decorate with)

 Instructions:
1. Combine sugar and Karo Syrup in a large saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.


2. Add peanut butter and stir until smooth.

 3. Mix in Rice Krispie treats until coated.

 4. When slightly cooled, form into 2 inch balls and slide a lollipop stick into the center. Set aside on wax paper to finish cooling.


Let the kids lick out the bowl to keep them busy while you work on the chocolate coating.

 5. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 C. Chocolate Chips and 1 C. Butterscotch chips. Go ahead and lick the spoon. No one is looking.


Once the mixture is smooth, remove from heat and get ready to make "pop"!

6. Gather your mini chocolate chips, gumdrops, licorice and whatever other sugary goodness you want to add to dad.


Dip the "pop" into the butterscotch mixture and twirl it around until you get the Rice Krispies good and coated. Make the "hairstyle" any way you want.

7.  Set the "pop's" onto a clean piece of wax paper and press two marshmallows in front for eyes. Add a mini chocolate chip to the center of each. Press a gumdrop on for a nose and finally, take a piece of those licorice strands and create a bow tie.
