fun eats: Dinosaur Rice Krispie Treats

Monday, July 23, 2012 19 Comments

So, we still have the dinosaurs roaming around our house…no extinction yet ;)

Today we are headed on over to the snack arena to make some fun dino-rrific rice krispie treats!

Yippee Ki Yay!  I mean…RAWR!





P.S. As I write this post…ummm, yeah, they are already all gone and I just made them today! :(

We are basically following the package recipe (the one on the Rice Krispie box) for Rice Krispie Treats, but with a few twists & turns :)

As you will see below, I also used a jellyroll pan instead of the traditional pan it calls for.  This was important for the thickness; I didn’t want them too thick for the cutters.  As you can probably guess, the sandwich cutters worked better than the cookie cutters.  The sandwich cutter shape is bolder with less detail than the cookie cutter, creating better dinosaur shapes.  With the sandwich cutters, I was able to cut out the dinosaur shapes closer together and waste less krispie treats.

Here we go, ya ready?

Ingredients/Tools

  • 3 TBSP butter or margarine
  • 1 10oz. package marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • green food coloring
  • cooking spray
  • large saucepan
  • wooden spoon
  • spatula
  • dinosaur sandwich cutters & cookie cutters
  • jellyroll pan
  • wax paper

Directions

  1. In the large saucepan melt butter/margarine over low heat.
  2. Add marshmallows and stir with wooden spoon until completely melted.
  3. Stir in desired amount of green food coloring; Remove from heat.
  4. Add Rice Krispies cereal; Stir until well coated.
  5. Spray spatula with cooking spray.
  6. Line a jellyroll pan with wax paper & spray with cooking spray.
  7. Using sprayed spatula, spread & press mixture into wax paper lined jellyroll pan.
  8. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
  9. Using dinosaur cutters, cut out desired dino shapes.
  10. Eat! :)

These two... I couldn’t get them to walk away from our science table.

🐚🌊☀️When we went to the beach last week, V found this spiral thingee (official term 😆) way far back on the sand, near the dunes... it had obviously washed up a long time ago.  She brought it to us & my mom (PHD science professor-lol good to have one of those in your back pocket, huh?!) identified it as a Whelk Egg Casing. 

🔍🧐 🐚After Googling, based on the details of the casing, we determined it is an egg casing from a Knobbed Welk. 

🐚🔍🕵🏼‍♀️Whelk eggs are fertilized internally and laid in capsule packets. Strings of these connected egg capsules are usually one to three feet in length, comprised of up to 160 capsules, and each casing containing 40-100 eggs. These eggs are SUPER TINY - ALREADY FORMED - LITTLE BABY SHELLS (swipe to the last shot)!!! The mother whelk anchors one end of the string onto rocks, shells, or sand on the sea floor for safety. Apparently, only about one percent will hatch successfully. If they emerge successfully from the egg case, they can expect to live for about 10 to 15 years if they reach maturity.

Pretty cool huh?! #youlearnsomethingneweveryday

“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.” - Kristin Armstrong

Print it out and hang it in your workspace, or the hallway, or the bedroom mirror as inspiration…. to reframe the ol’ noggin and focus on the gratitude and the things that are most important to us.

I will be sharing an exciting announcement next week! Be sure to stay tuned and keep an eye out, I can’t wait to share this news with you!!!!!!!

Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝 We’ve had this Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝

We’ve had this loose parts tray since my kids were wee little ones and it is still utilized to this day.  I just happened to catch a kiddo mid-way through mandala making today. 

🌀💠🔆You can theme it out however you want - nature parts, color parts... think beads, buttons, bits & bobs... take a stroll down the small parts aisle at the craft store or your local hardware store to find some inspiration. 

🖇📏🧮 I love how loose part trays allow open-ended creative play.  Kiddos can explore the different textures and shape concepts in the tray to create structures, free play, or even work on math!

💡What would you use your loose parts tray for?
