Pudding Pops!!

SO since pudding pops are a thing of the past it seems and my kids love pudding I decided to give it a try...
BUT Popsicle molds are pricy and only make 4 or 6. SO I did some research and am trying this for other recipes as well!!

 Make Cook and serve box of pudding with 4 cups milk.
Make as directed on stove top till thick.
Stir in 1 cup plain yogurt or whipped toping in off the heat.

I then found these pretzel wrappers at michaels and thought to give them a try!

So when the pudding is ready fold the sleeve over and then put the funnel in.
Makes the mess easier to put in a cup so you dont drop it!!!

I put about 1/4 cup in it. DO it fast...if it gets too thick a spoon helps to get it in.

Then tie a knot on top and put in freezer!

Cut off the knotted end and peal back some of the wrapper. The wrapper peals off and the kids LOVED them!!!!!!

I also did another one thats still freezing! equal parts OJ and Coconut milk Vanilla.....It tasted like an orange juicus. SO yummy!!!!!!!! ENJOY!

Sweet Sushi

To make Sweet Sushi for your class!!!

Start off making a little bit stickier rice krispy treats!

You will be making this recipe 4 times. DO NOT DO IT ALL AT ONCE.
Make it one at a time to avoid sushi being to thick.

Take two cookie sheets and line with wax paper and spray with spray coat alot!


Put 4 tablespoons of butter in saucepan and melt.
Then add 5  cups mini marshmallows and melt on low heat.
When done turn off heat and add 6 cups rice krispys.

I dont know how big your pans are but you will then put the rice krispys on like above.
Spray your hands/gloves to help spread out evenly.
Let almost cool. THEY WILL BE STICKY!!

Unwrap one fruit roll up and cut the rice krispys just under the size of the roll ups.
You will have some end pieces. Squish them together to make another piece to work with.

Then lay the rice out and put out 3 pieces of filling. You will need to cut the licorce to fit! And I made them with one and a half gummy worms. It shows two pieces but 3 lines of filling looked much better!

Then roll up the sushi and press in to a rice log.

You will then take a fruit roll up and place over the rice log. Rub it over the log to have the heat of your hand make the rollup stick!You will see rice log on each end. THEN Cut into 5 pieces!
You will them place a piece of wax paper in the container you will store them in. Place a single layer of sushi and repeat with wax paper. KEEP THEM OUT OF THE FRIDGE! Put them on the counter until you use them.
Now repeat with the other batches. Like I said in the begining do one batch at a time since you have 4.
I would cut the rice and then go back and make the next batch so I could make some while they cooled!
