Silly "Grilled Cheese" Sandwich
Great Salt Lake Council
Ingredients:
1 loaf pound cake,
sliced into "bread" slices
1 cup canned or homemade
butter cream or white frosting, tinted "cheese yellow" (yellow and just a
touch of red)
Toast "bread" in the toaster until just brown.
Once it's cooled for a few minutes stack two of them and
cut in half diagonally.
(Doing this before the frosting makes for fewer crumbs.)
Carefully spread the
frosting between the slices of each half sandwich, mounding slightly. Gently
press the other slice down over the first, causing the frosting to ooze
slightly looking very much like cheese. Eat.
Toasty the
Snowman (Snowman on a Stick)
Great Salt Lake Council
Ingredients:
3 marshmallows,
2 thin pretzel sticks,
Currants or raisins cut in half
Dried apricots cut into small carrot shapes
Miniature M&M's
Miniature chocolate chips
Skewers
With an adult, use a gas stove, barbecue, or campfire to
roast all three marshmallows on one long skewer or roasting stick. Carefully
press the fruit and chocolate into the melted marshmallow for eyes, nose and
buttons. Eat raw if you don't want to go to all the trouble of starting a
fire, but the marshmallows may have to be snipped slightly with the scissors
to make the fruit stick into them.
Cinnamon Cider
Great Salt Lake Council
Pour 4 cups cider into saucepan. Tie 8 whole cloves, 5
allspice berries, and a stick of cinnamon broken up, in a coffee filter or
clean cloth, and add to the cider. Cut an orange into 4 slices and set aside.
Place the rest of the orange in the cider. Warm cider over low to medium heat
until steam starts coming from the surface. Pour into four mugs and garnish
each with an orange slice. Makes 4 cups.
