ANNATHENA'S RECIPE
(Ask an adult to help you)
Ooooh, it's Christmas time! Are you excited? Does anyone in your house bake or make special sweets and other goodies? I love this time of year but I know I eat more than I should. Anyway, I looked through my favorite recipes to find something that is easy and you could have fun making. I got this recipe from another mom so I know kids like it. Have fun!
POPCORN CAKE
Be sure to wash your hands first!
You will need:
1 bag mini-marshmallows
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup salad oil
MELT THOSE 3 THINGS TOGETHER IN A LARGE PAN.
THEN ADD:
2 quarts popped popcorn
1 pound bag plain M&M's (the small ones if you can find them)
1 pound bag Cocktail Peanuts
MIX ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO USE YOUR HANDS. HANDS WON'T GET AS STICKY IF YOU RUB JUST A LITTLE BIT OF OIL ON THEM.
NOW....Butter the inside of a Bundt or Angel Food Cake pan and press all that mixture into the pan. Be sure you've pressed it hard so it packs together.
Let it sit for several hours.
Then use a sharp knife (or ask an adult to do it) and slice it into pieces just like you do a real cake. [ If you don't have either of those pans, you can use a 9 inch by 15 inch pan, or even spread it into several smaller pans.]
Excuse me but this reminds me I have some more candy and cookies to make in my kitchen. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
