Last Minute Snack For Climbing

Andy loves to bring treats to Rock Climbing for their friends and teacher. Today Andy decided that Popcorn bars would be the thing to bring. Unfortunately, there was no recipe used just more of, “I have this idea so just make something that looks like my idea”, plan. And by plan I mean, no plan. Andy popped popcorn into the pan, wasn’t too judicious in removing the un-popped kernels, added Fluff and then mini M&Ms to the mixture. I know what Andy was going for but since Andy didn’t realize that Fluff was invented not to stiffen up there was no way that the mixture was going to solidify to make bars of any sort. But, we brought it with us and the kids ate it. They appeared to enjoy it. I’m not sure what next week will bring but we had better talk it over first.

Andy baked some cupcakes yesterday and today, decorated them. Andy mixed up several batches of frosting in various colors and then put their skills to work creating grass and flowers and bumblebees. You can see much more detail in the photo below.

Andy was going to make whoopie pie donuts but that was going to be too involved especially with the heat happening around here lately. So, instead the red velvet cupcakes for friends at climbing.
