Brownie Pizza

Brownie Pizza 
Gooey and packed with chocolate, brownies are always a big hit with kids. This brownie pizza is so easy to make that even preschoolers can help stir the batter.
Ingredients
  • Your favorite Chewy brownie batter
  • 2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
  • 2 1/2 tbsp. milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Red food coloring paste (available at kitchen and party supply stores)
  • 6 oz. white chocolate
  • Assorted candies
Instructions
  1. Prepare the brownie recipe, with one exception: Instead of pouring the mixture into a rectangular or square pan, pour it into a lightly greased (and clean!) 12-inch pizza pan.
  2. Bake, in an oven preheated to 350 degrees, for 20 to 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool.
  3. Meanwhile, mix up the red frosting “sauce.” In a large bowl, cream the confectioners’ sugar and butter.
  4. Adding the sauce Add the milk and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of red food coloring paste and mix until you have the desired shade (think tomato sauce). Use a spatula or knife to spread the sauce evenly over the cooled “pizza.”
  5. Now you’re ready to add the toppings. For white chocolate “cheese,” roughly chop or grate (adults only) white chocolate.
  6. Sprinkle it over the frosting (your kids may want to add extra cheese). For other toppings, add M&M’s, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips or any other favorite candies.
  7. Use a pizza cutter to slice the brownie into 16 pieces. Present it in a pizza box (ask a local pizza parlor if you could have or buy one).
  8. Serve the Brownie Pizza at an after-school gathering, a pizza party, or–most fitting–a Brownie troop meeting. Serves 16.

Tomato

 

Everyone sits in a circle. One person who is it stands in the center of the circle. This Person is called ” It”.

 

Each person asks the person who is “it” an appropriate question. The only answer to every question has to be answered as ” Tomato “.

 

The first person to make the center person  ( It ) laugh wins a try in the middle. 

 

Ex: What color is your hair? Tomato. What do you brush your teeth with? Tomato .

 

(Obviously other funny Questions can be used for variety )

GORP

GORP is a trail mix that stands for “good old raisins and peanuts, or “granola, oats, raisins, and peanuts”, or “gobs of raw protein”.

  Put in some peanuts, raisins, granola, m&m’s or reeses pieces, and whatever else sounds good but wont melt in the heat. Stir. Separate into baggies and throw a couple into your back pack, next time you’re out hiking or camping, etc.
