Recipe 4 Bugfood

Share this

Here are some fun (no real bugs included) snacks to make foryour kids and friends. A fun book to read along with these treatsis Eric Carles The Hungry Caterpillar. Boy, the teacher in me really comes out! You can even make Bug Juice, to go along with the treats.

 

ANTS-ON-A-LOG

 

Slice stalks of celery, and spread peanut butter in the groove.
Sprinkle with black raisins.

 

Variations: 1) aphids-on-a-log (sunflower seeds),
2) gnats-on-a-log (currents).


ANT TREATS

Use cinnamon twists (glazed donut-like pastries formed into the
number eight) as the insect body, stick bendable plastic straws
in the sides (three on each side) to be the legs, and they should
look like giant ants. Use 'donut holes' for ant eggs.

 

BEE BREAD
1 cup corn syrup
1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/4 cup powdered milk
Combine ingredients, then roll into 1-2" balls, then roll the balls
in powdered sugar to keep them from sticking together.

 


FLY-IN-THE-BATTER DESSERTS

 

Fly-in-the-batter cookies: Make chocolate chip or oatmeal
cookies, adding raisins (flies) or chocolate sprinkles (gnats).

 

Fly-in-the-batter pudding: Vanilla pudding with raisins.

 

Cow Pies
Chocolate pudding with slivered almonds or coconut
sprinkles (maggots). Place a few plastic fly adults on top.
 

 

Recipe 4 Bug Blood or Bug Juice

 

Mix a yellow drink (citrus pop or lemonade) with a blue one (kool-
aid). You'll end up with a radioactive shade of green.
