Bake Away the Winter Blues
(Family Features) When the weather outside turns frightful, baking homemade treats will be so delightful. Whether it’s with friends, the kids or even by yourself, making treats is a great way to keep warm and active when snowed in. Try these tips from Wilton for fun indoor activities during wintry weather: • Plan ahead. Stock up your pantry ahead of time with baking and decorating supplies, so you’ll have what you need during snow days. •
No two snowflakes are alike. It’s easy to make a deliciously unique treat. Bake a large brownie or a cake in a Snowflake Tube Pan (see recipe below). Decorate it with icing and marshmallows, sprinkles, candy-coated chocolates or chocolate chips.
•
Build tasty snowmen. Instead of getting bundled up to build a snowman outside, make fun snowmen cookies with a two-piece Melted Snowman Cookie Cutter Set (see recipe below). After decorating, enjoy the cookies with a cup of cocoa. For more fun and tasty winter recipes, baking tips and inspiration, www.wilton.com.
S’mores Snowflake Brownies Servings: 12
Wilton Snowflake Tube Pan 1 box (18 ounces) brownie mix Water, oil and eggs to prepare mix
4 graham crackers, broken into bite-size pieces 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips 2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare tube pan with vegetable pan spray. In large bowl, stir together brownie mix, water, oil and eggs until well combined. Fold in broken graham crackers. Pour into prepared pan and smooth so batter is evenly distributed. Bake 24-26 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center of brownie comes out nearly clean. Cool in pan on cooling grid 10 minutes. Remove from pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let sit 5 minutes; spread over top. Cover with marshmallows. Let chocolate harden before serving.
Spicy Snowman Cookies Yield: 18 sets of cookies
3 1 1 1/4 1/4 1/4 1 1-1/2
cups all-purpose flour teaspoon baking powder teaspoon salt teaspoon ground cinnamon teaspoon cayenne pepper teaspoon chili powder cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened cups granulated sugar
1 1
egg teaspoon Wilton Imitation Clear Vanilla Extract Wilton Melted Snowman Cookie Cutter Set Cookie Icing: White, Black, Orange Brown and Red
Preheat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and chili powder. In separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined. Add flour mixture; beat until just combined. Divide dough into 2 balls. On floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches diameter by 1/8 inch thick. Dip cookie cutters in flour before each use. Transfer cookies to ungreased cookie sheet. Bake puddle cookies for 12-14 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Bake hat cookies on separate cookie sheet for 8-9 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Cool cookies on sheet on cooling grid 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on grid. Decorate cooled cookies. On puddle cookies, use white cookie icing to outline and fill in. Pipe black icing facial features and buttons, orange icing pull-out dot nose and brown icing arms. On hat cookies, use black cookie icing to outline and fill in. Add red cookie icing hatband. Attach hat to main cookie with dot of icing. Note: Color Flow Mix and Royal Icing can also be used. #12335 Source: Wilton Products

Discover a New Twist on Classic Campfire S’mores (Family Features) Roasting marshmallows around the campfire with friends and family is a popular pastime. Luckily, the classic combination of chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker can be enjoyed in so many ways - whether you’re fireside or stuck inside! Try giving the sticky-sweet summer favorite a modern twist by using DOVE® Dark Chocolate. As the No. 1 solid dark chocolate on the market, the never-bitter, silky-smooth taste of DOVE® Dark Chocolate lives up to people’s expectations of what chocolate should taste like. Here are two ways to pair everyone’s favorite Keebler® Original Grahams and DOVE® Dark Chocolate to make s’mores-inspired desserts that are impossible to resist. For more information and great DOVE® Dark Chocolate recipes, visit https://www.Facebook.com/DoveChocolate.
3-Layer Caramel and Chocolate Marshmallow Bars Recipe provided by Real Food by Dad
15 whole Keebler Graham Crackers 16 ounces DOVE® Dark Chocolate 2 (11-ounce) bags caramel pieces 2 cups mini marshmallows Line an 8-by-8-inch pan with foil, leaving 2-inch overhang on each side. Place five graham crackers on bottom (break crackers up as needed to fit pan). ®
Melt one 11-ounce bag of caramels in microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. Pour and spread over graham crackers. Place second layer of graham crackers on top of caramel. Melt chocolate in microwave in 30-second bursts stirring in between. Reserve 1/3 of mixture. Stir marshmallows into remaining chocolate and spread mixture over graham crackers. Place third layer of graham crackers on top of marshmallow mixture. Heat remaining 11-ounce bag of caramel in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. Pour and spread over graham crackers. Pour and spread remaining chocolate over caramel. Optional: Sprinkle sea salt on top to finish. Note: For ease of spreading, each bag of caramel should be melted separately, or else caramel for final layer will be too hard to spread.
S’mores Dessert Trifle in a Jar Recipe provided by Mom Endeavors
1 6-10 4-6
(3.9-ounce) box of instant chocolate pudding individually wrapped DOVE® Dark Chocolate Promises whole Keebler® Graham Crackers
1/2 1/2 1/2 6
tub whipped topping small jar of marshmallow creme cup mini marshmallows small Mason Jars
Start by prepping ingredients. Prepare pudding per instructions on box, finely chop up chocolate and break up graham crackers into pieces (as small or large as you’d like). Then, in small bowl, combine whipped topping and the marshmallow creme. (It may be a little lumpy.) Next, start filling jars by putting 1/2-1 inch layer of broken graham crackers. On top of graham crackers, add about 1 tablespoon of chocolate pudding and sprinkle with bit of dark chocolate pieces. Then, add about 1 tablespoon of whipped marshmallow topping mixture. Repeat layers, finally topping jar with toasted marshmallows and another sprinkle of finely chopped chocolate. Note: To toast marshmallows, put mini-marshmallows onto baking sheet (a little stale or cold can help) and put them in oven under broiler for few seconds until golden brown. #12251 Source: Dove®

Tree-ific Holiday Treats
Kids
with
(Family Features) For many adults, the holidays are transformed by the chance to experience the wonders of the season through the eyes of children. There’s no better way to elicit a merry twinkle all around than by creating festive holiday treats together in the kitchen.

An option such as Jelly Belly jelly beans lets you choose from an array of flavors and colors, including the shimmering Jelly Belly® Jewel Collection that can add sparkle to your baking.

Holiday Entertaining Made Easy (Family Features) Whether you’re planning your first holiday gathering or you’re a seasoned host, throwing a successful bash relies on creativity and a solid plan. “Pick one or two elements of your gathering that you personalize and keep the rest simple,” advises DIY and entertaining expert Brit Morin of Brit + Co. “With a few clever ideas in your back pocket, you can pull off the perfect party.” Make your event the highlight of the holiday season with Brit’s simple tips: • Show your style. Are you going for traditional holiday decor, cocktail chic or colorful and kid-friendly? Find or create a pattern and repeat it throughout your party elements. If you go with something simple like triangles, use triangles in your decorative garlands, invites, table settings and more. Add an unexpected accent by trimming your countertops, bookshelves or chair legs with patterned tape to match your theme. • DIY with confidence. Don’t be intimidated by a little DIY. Make your own centerpiece by filling a rustic bucket with striped lollipops or candy canes, or a glass hurricane vase with pumpkins, pinecones or ornaments. Repurpose an old sweater to create a cozy koozie for glass jars filled with snacks. • Time-saving treats. Simple, delicious recipes are a life-saver. Select easy-to-prepare dishes like cheese trays, veggie plates and crowdpleasing snacks such as Chex™ Party Mix, which you can make to match nearly any theme or flavor combination. The best part - the recipes can be made in just 15 minutes in the microwave and some are 100 percent gluten free. • End with a bang. Leave your guests with a lasting impression and send them home with a holiday travel kit. Create a bag with travel essentials like ear plugs, headache medicine, bottled water and snacks to enjoy during long car rides or layovers. For more recipes and tips for creating the perfect party with Chex™ , visit www.chex.com.
