Easy peasy recipe for kids baking!!

abbecer

Afternoon all,

Thought i'd share this easy, cheap recipe with you. My kids love it. You will need a bag of marshmallows, milk chocolate and dessicated coconut. Melt the chocolate in a bowl, add the marshmallows and mix in with a big spoon. Then roll the marshmallows individually in the coconut until they are coated. Place on a plate or tray and put in the fridge. They are yummy and are really good for kids parties.

When i was little my mum bought 'snowballs' that were like this.

Happy baking!!!:j :j

they sound lovely, might have to have a crack at making those! :T :T today i made some of nigella`s malteser traybakes and omg they are so scrummy and really easy to make, heres the ingredients
100g of butter
200g of any chocolate (i used dairy milk as im a bit of a chocoholic )
3 tablespoons of golden syrup
225g (about 3/4 of a pack) of digestive biscuits
225g of maltesers

put the butter/chocolate and golden syrup in a pan and melt slowly meanwhile have your kids batter the living daylights out of the digestives till they are crumbs and then mix both up untill you have coated all the crumbs then pour the mix into a lined baking tray and press it all down firmly and wait for it to cool when there is just the slightest bit of heat left in the mix press the maltesers (or anything else you might have) into the slightly gooey traybake then slice it up with a pizza cutter and slam it in the fridge for the chocolate to set properly. next time i make these im going to double the recipe! dont expect these to hang around for too long as they are delish!! :j :j

Hi these both sound absolutley scrummy (not sure it would go down well withthe waist line though, after all you have to test them don't you?)
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Me & my boys love doing baking they especially like making shortbread as it is easy and doesn't take long to make or bake.They like using cutters to make them into cookies rather than plain squares.
4oz Butter
2oz Caster sugar
3oz Plain flour(plus a little for dusting)

You can make as it is or add a little flavouring, I especially think adding almond flavouring makes these scrummy, but that's just me

Many moons ago, (my littl'uns are 25 and 27) a magazine showed easy baking for children using yoghurt pots as measurements rather than weighing anything. It was just 2 of this and 1 of that but cannot remember any more detail than that. Can't remember if it was for cookies or buns, but I suspect it was for cookies.

Does anyone have this in their cookery 'files' please?

Still not the ones I remember, which thinking back, could have been from 'Stork', but might be useful..........

Hope the links work, I'm not too good at this
