WORD OF THE DAY:

Superman can travel to far places because his super powers allows him to fly really fast.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

-IRON MAN
HEALTHY SNACK:

Iron Man Treats!

Ingredients:

  • Pre-Made Rice Cereal Treats 
  • Red Candy Melts* 
  • Yellow Candy Melts* 
  • Small Blue Candy Balls*
  • Paper Straws

* Be sure to grab an adult to help you with your candy melts!

Instructions:  

Begin by unwrapping each rice cereal treat. 

  • Add one straw stick into the bottom the rice cereal treat. These will make a perfect holder for the party goers as they munch the Iron Man birthday treats. 
  • Tip: If the paper straws need a little help sticking into the rice cereal treat add a dab of melted candy melts to the tip before poking it in.
  • Once all the handles are attached melt half a bag of Red Candy Melts in the microwave. Follow manufacturer’s suggested cook times for melting the candy. 
  • Carefully spread a layer of red candy melts on the front, sides, and tops on each treat. 
  • While the red candy cools melt a quarter of a bag of Yellow Candy Melts* in the microwave. 
  • Add the warm, melted yellow candy to a sandwich sized reusable baggie to create a homemade piping bag. Snip one small corner of the bag then add dime sized dollops of yellow candy melt to the center of each treat. 
  • Before the yellow candy cools add one Small Blue Candy Balls* to each. The little blue candy is Iron Man’s power source
