I have been blessed with an amazing church...we have a fantastic youth ministry that is growing and changing everyday. This month they are going through a series called "Gospel Journey Maui---the students meet Wednesday and Thursday evenings for a video presentation and discussion. I asked our youth pastor if per chance he would like me to provide snacks for the students and adult leaders----food makes everything more fun...right??
This past week I made rice crispy treat "sushi" --- forgot to take pictures of it!! Yesterday was sugar cookie lollipops----patriotic ones of course! The concept is very simple and can be used with refrigerated dough like Pillsbury or your favorite homemade recipe. Keep in mind that if you use store bought dough it will have more spread. Once you have your dough, dye it with gel food coloring (more vibrant color is achieved that way), roll "snakes" and twist them into one long rope, then coil the rope into a circle. I pressed them down on to the silpat lined cookie sheet to get a better round shape, inserted the wooden stick and then baked at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
To jazz them up and make an easier treat for traveling we covered them with a cellophane bag and tied it with some red curling ribbon.
Happy 4th of July!!!
