31 Days of Fun Fall Ideas- Idea #14
My oldest daughter could sit and multiply or add or all day, but put a book in front of her and well...let's just say we all need incentives! After finishing her newest beloved series of fairy books, she wanted something a little more advanced, but that still contained magic, and thus we introduced Harry Potter! Being the mean mom that I am, I told she had to read the books before she could watch any of the movies, so off reading she went and a few weeks later, this is what we created for movie night... (thanks to another fun blog, she has many more cute Harry Potter ideas as well and her versions are much more colorful, mine were a little last minute.)
When Harry first got on Hogwart's Express, he had money to burn and wanted to try all the new, never before sampled candies he could. Here are a few of our creations.
NOTE: There are more ideas to follow, but I only wanted to do a few per book/movie to keep things fun and interesting!
Magical Writing
Alphabet cookies- spell what ever you want!
Acid Pops
Pop Rocks
Lollipops
Karo Syrup (did I just scare everyone away? If so, use honey, but it won't taste as good)
In a bowl melt 1/4 cup Karo syrup in microwave until hot and runny. Dip lollipop in syrup covering evenly, but keeping coating thin. Then roll into Pop rocks and serve relatively soon so 'acid' still pops.
Licorice Wands
Licorice sticks
1/2 cup chocolate chips (any flavor/color)
1/2 teaspoon oil or crisco
sprinkles (I used silver)
In microwave safe bowl, melt chips and oil on medium power for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Return to microwave on medium heat and heat 30 more seconds, then stir. Repeat until chips are smooth. Dip top 1/3 of licorice in chocolate mixture, coat with sprinkles and place on wax paper, in fridge, until set. Serve up with something fun like Ron's rat etc...
