Ombré Punch
When you need a beverage you can
serve to all ages that will bring a little “Wow!” to your table, try this easy
to make punch. The trick is to not stir it!
We like it best with orange juice
as the base, but you can also use grapefruit juice for a different flavor.
Makes Six Servings.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups orange juice, chilled
Grenadine syrup
Ice
DIRECTIONS:
Place ice in the bottom of the
glasses. Add ½ cup of juice to each glass then carefully pour one teaspoon of
grenadine syrup in each glass. That’s it! Told you it was easy. Just make sure
you do not stir the drink or it will lose the lovely ombré design.
If you prefer grapefruit juice to
orange juice, substitute it and add a splash of Sprite or 7-Up to each glass
before you add the grenadine syrup.
Chocolate Chex Trees
These yummy and
adorable trees are so simple to make and a great project if you have kids at
home who need something to do. Set them on a disposable plate, foil-wrapped
piece of cardboard, or a large sugar cookie wrapped in cellophane for
gift-giving!
Ingredients:
3 cups Chex Chocolate cereal
6 pretzel sticks (the thick kind,
made for dipping)
½ cup peanut butter
¼ cup Nutella
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
Directions:
Mix the peanut butter, Nutella,
butter, and powdered sugar in a bowl.
On whatever you plan to use for a
base, mold the peanut butter mixture around the pretzel stick until it stands
upright and forms a slight cone shape.
Hold it steady by using the tip of
the pretzel as a handle and begin inserting pieces of cereal into the peanut
butter mixture in a symmetrical pattern around the stick.
You can tip the cereal pieces up
or down, depending on your personal preference.
Add more cereal pieces, staggering
them as you move upward, until you get near the top.
For the top of the tree, use
broken pieces or cut them in half to get the smaller scale of branches near the
top.
Use two pieces of cereal back to
back to form the top.
Dust with powdered sugar.
Makes 6 trees
