Adventures in children’s parties and recipes
My wife and I got talked into helping with catering for a children’s party. I usually don’t like doing children’s parties because of all the sugar-coated foods. Plus there never seems to be anything for the adults to eat at this party.
I’m the type of guy who plans for both the parents and the children at parties.
The parents need their energy and my wife tells me that no one wants to ruin their figure eating party food for the kids.
The following recipes were served on the new Honey Butter Ritz crackers. The original will always be my favorite but the Honey Butter Ritz is a nice addition to snack ideas.
PB Mallow Fruit Bites
The recipe usually makes two dozen or 12 servings.
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup marshmallow crème
24 Honey Butter Ritz Crackers
1 Banana, cut into 24 slices
24 strawberry slices
Ground cinnamon
Mix peanut butter and marshmallow crème until swirled but not completely blended. Spread onto crackers. Top each with a banana slice and strawberry slice. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
For the parents:
You can top the crackers with cream cheese and fruit. Actually you could top the crackers with anything that is naturally sweet. My wife likes cottage cheese and grape tomatoes
