Muddy Buddy Football Truffles

 

Our house loves Muddy Buddies!  When I make it, I do a great big bowl and usually it doesn't last the day...that's how it is when you have four kids; two of which are teenage boys!  With the game being this weekend I was trying to come up with snacks that were easy to make, didn't keep me in the kitchen long, and had to taste delicious.  So I decided to turn one of their favorite snacks into truffles, but not just any truffles...football truffles.  These were a breeze to make, they taste exactly like muddy buddies and they're perfect for your tailgating party...enjoy!

Spooky Monster Marshmallow Treats

It's that time of year when children everywhere will be getting ready for Halloween and parents will be too! A perfect way to get started is stopping at Target to pick up some Monster Cereals featured in Retro Boxes.  You'll have to hurry because these are only offered for a limited time!  My husband loves these cereals and he couldn't wait to dig in.  There is Franken Berry, Count Chocula, Yummy Mummy, Frute Brute and Boo-Berry.  

Jello Krispie Apples

 

 

My littlest one started Kindergarten this year and they're allowed to bring in a snack once a month; the other day it was our turn.  Luckily our school still allows you to bring in homemade food rather than store bought.  This is one of my favorite times because I love seeing their faces when I bring it in; it's priceless!   Since they just started school I wanted to do something that meant "Back to School" so an apple was the obvious choice.  These are really simple to make and they have a little twist to them; they're flavored with jello!  It gives them such an incredible flavor and great color too!
