Monday, May 7, 2012  Medieval Fruit Platter   My sweet daughter
had a Medieval Festival at her school today.  It was SO fun! 
The kids in her class all dressed up in Middle Age costumes,
made castles and hats, shared some of their talents in
performances, and sat around and feasted on treats their mama's
made for the event.  The parents and grandparents were all
invited to be apart of the festivities.  My little princess read
part of a story she has written...she's becoming quite the
little writer for a 1st grader!  I'm so proud of her!!! :)  Last
year a mom made some amazing miniature fruit out of marzipan for
the feast and the kids thought it was so cool!  So this year my
daughter's teacher asked me if I could do the same thing. I
decided to make the fruit out of rice crispy treats covered in
various color of modeling chocolate.  They ended up being about
50-75% the size of regular fruit.  Perfect for little
hands...and FULL of sugar for their little tummies! :) YUM!    I
whipped up some rice crispy treats,
