Fun Kid Recipes

Here are a couple of fun recipes that Landry and I recently tried. The Mug Cake was really fun to do - I got this recipe from a lady I work with. The Candy Pizza was really fun too - I stole this recipe from Alison's blog - Thanks Alison for the fun treat!


SINFUL 3 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
1 Mug (Microwave safe)
4 tablespoons flour (that's plain flour, not self-rising)
6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) mini chips would be the best
Small splash of vanilla

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.Add the egg and mix thoroughly.Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again.Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (a bit less time if your microwave is stronger). The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.


CANDY PIZZA

Crust:
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda

Frosting:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp milk
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup M&M's (we also used Reeces Pieces and Mini Marshmallows)


Preheat oven to 350. Mix crust ingredients, spread on greased pizza pan. Bake 15 minutes. Cool. Melt chocolate chips, 2 Tbsp butter and milk in saucepan. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Take off heat. Add powdered sugar. Stir until smooth and shiny. Spread on cool crust and sprinkle with candy.
