Awesome Erupting Volcano and Dinosaur Cake

!±8± Awesome Erupting Volcano and Dinosaur Cake

I made this cake for my nephew's 6th birthday. I used cocoa rice krispie treats covered in chocolate for the volcano. I formed it around a small plastic cup inside and used dry ice and boiling cherry Jell O to make it erupt. The dinosaurs are sculpted out of fondant and the "ground" is made with crushed up graham crackers. To make the trees I used Pepperidge Farm Pirohuette cookies for the trunk and fondant for the leaves. It was a big hit!

Whether you don't want to heat up the kitchen or the demands of getting the kids out the door are upon you, it's nice to have a few no-bake cookie recipes on hand. We thought we would share some of our favorites with you.

Cranberry Coconut Bars

This first recipe, Cranberry Coconut Bars, is more of a big kid cookie-it has too much fruit and too many nuts in it to suit most youngsters. But it so scrumptious and easy, we had to include it. If you are making a lunch for a spouse or a teenager, we think this will be a hit. Of course, it doesn't have to go in a lunch pail.

This is a microwave cookie that can be mixed right in the baking pan. How's that for convenience?

If you are not fond of dried cranberries, consider substituting dates, raisins, or chopped apricot pieces in this recipe.

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cup quick rolled oats

1/4 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut

1/2 cup walnut pieces

Directions

1. Place butter in an 8-inch square, microwave-safe baking dish. Microwave until the butter is melted.

2. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Press the mixture firmly into the dish.

3. Microwave for three to five minutes or until lightly browned. If your microwave does not have a rotating carousel, rotate the dish twice during cooking.

4. Let the cookies cool and then cut them into bars with a sharp knife. Wrap them individually to pack in a lunch.

This recipe will make sixteen 2 x 2-inch squares.

This next recipe makes a great kid cookie. It's almost confection-like but is so packed with energy and hearty oats that you won't mind giving your youngster a few. This cookie is best with a tall glass of milk.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Drops

This is a range-top cookie. Because it is a no-baker and so full of energy, it makes a great camping cookie.

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup butter

1/3 cocoa

2 1/2 cup quick oats

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Cook for two more minutes stirring constantly and then remove the pan from the heat.

2. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla, then the oats.

3. Let cool for several minutes and then drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let the cookies cool completely before removing them from the waxed paper.

More No-Bakers

When thinking of no-bake cookies, don't forget the perennial favorites, Rice Krispie Treats and Frosted Graham Crackers. We're assuming everyone has the recipe for Rice Krispie Treats. Consider adding chocolate chips, dried fruit pieces, or cinnamon candies for a little pizzazz.

To make Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats, melt 2/3 cup chocolate chips (for a recipe calling for six cups of cereal) with the marshmallows and butter. This is a real favorite-our kids like these more than regular Rice Krispie Treats and they are no more difficult to make.

For Frosted Graham Crackers, simply pick your favorite frosting and sandwich that between two graham cracker squares. Pick a frosting with a powdered-sugar base that will set up firm and won't be messy.

Snack Time at Walt Disney World

!±8± Snack Time at Walt Disney World

Snacks at Walt Disney World are a nice taste treat for some and an obsession for others. Here are some of my favorites:

Magic Kingdom

Aloha Isle (Adventureland)

Dole Whip is the claim to fame at Aloha Isle, and I'll guarantee you'll love this soft-serve pineapple frozen treat. You can even order it in a Coke or root beer float. I do warn you - it's addictive!

Main Street Bake Shop (Main Street)

It's difficult to ignore this sweet shop on Main Street loaded with all kinds of goodies the likes of Snickers cheesecake, giant bear claws, huge hot cinnamon rolls oozing with frosting, giant-size Rice Krispie treats, lovely fruit tarts, and much, much more. Stop in just to stare.

Sleepy Hollow (Liberty Square)

The long lines attest to the goodness of the funnel cakes here. There's also caramel corn, ice cream cookie sandwiches, and luscious root beer floats.

Sunshine Tree Terrace (Adventureland)

Running a close second to Dole Whip is a Citrus Swirl, soft serve vanilla ice cream twisted with frozen orange juice. Although there's much debate about which is best, try both to get in on the action.

Epcot

Boulangerie Patisserie (France)

Don't worry about missing this place - just look for the long line snaking outside into the street. Crowds flock here for the huge assortment of French pastries such as chocolate éclairs, peach tarts, coconut pyramids (my favorite), napoleons, chocolate mousse, chocolate croissants - the list goes on. Find a table on the cobblestone sidestreet and watch the "World" go by.

Crepes des Chefs de France (France)

This kiosk in France makes delicious, hot crepes right in front of your eyes with your choice of filling: chocolate, sugar, or strawberry. Order a cappuccino to sip along with it.

Kringla Bakeri og Café (Norway)

For what it's worth, my favorite snack is to be found here. I can never resist picking up one of the soft, chewy, sweet pretzels topped with icing and sliced almonds. Combine one with a Viking Coffee spiked with Baileys Irish Cream.

Sommerfest (Germany)

Order up a nice bratwurst roll topped with sauerkraut accompanied by German beer. Or go for a dessert of yummy apple strudel topped with lovely vanilla sauce.

Sunshine Seasons Terrace (The Land - Future World)
One popular snack are the Nestle Toll House Cookies baked fresh here throughout the day.

Disney Hollywood Studios

Min and Bill's Dockside Diner

The pretzels are quite good with your choice of cheese or apple cinnamon stuffing. And their yummy, thick shakes are always a winner.

Animal Kingdom

Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery (Africa)

The giant cinnamon rolls dripping with icing are big favorites.

Pizzafari (Discovery Island)

For a quick snack pick up a hot basket of pizza dough breadsticks topped with cheese served up with a side of marinara.

Disney Resorts
Beaches and Cream (Disney's Beach Club Resort)

Lots of choices here at this 50s-style soda shop. My all-time favorite is the old-fashioned malts with the extras served on the side in the stainless steel mixing cup. If you want to go all out order the Kitchen Sink with piles of ice cream (literally served in a miniature kitchen sink) smothered in every topping available.

Captain Cook's (Disney's Polynesian Resort)

Don't forget the famous Dole Whip found at the Magic Kingdom is also served here.

The Mara (Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge)

Two popular items from the resort's Boma restaurant can be found at this counter-service spot - Zebra domes, a delicious amarula (a South African cream liqueur) mousse with chocolate ganache stripes, and paw print brownies, a chocolate brownie with a cocoa lion cub paw print in the icing.

Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory (Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter Resort)
I'm obsessed with the beignets here - the best I've had outside of New Orleans.

Spoodles Pizza Window (Disney's Boardwalk)

The tasty pizza served at Spoodles Restaurant can be had at this walk-up window just outside. Pick up a slice and catch the Boardwalk's fun atmosphere while you chow down.

Downtown Disney

Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop (Marketplace)
Try Earthquake, an extravaganza of eight scoops of ice cream, eight toppings, bananas, whipped cream, almonds, and cherries. The warm brownie sundae runs a close second.

Goofy's Pantry (Marketplace)

A great assortment of homemade cookies and other sweets. On cold nights the cookies taste terrific with a cup of hot chocolate.

Wetzel's Pretzels (West Side)

It's tough to resist a trip to Wetzel's Pretzels. Favorite's include the jalapeno cheese melt and the pepperoni twist pretzels. I even like the non-fat original without salt. Non-pretzel lovers can opt for a scoop of Haagen Daz ice cream.

100 Hundred Grand Crispy Crunchy Bar Unwrapping And Taste Test Review

!±8± 100 Hundred Grand Crispy Crunchy Bar Unwrapping And Taste Test Review

This is a grand slam! That sounded a lot less corny in my head... Packaging If you're looking to get your nosh on with thousands of melted dollars bills and bits of change, you're in for a rude surprise. A food surprise I suppose you could say! The packaging is oh so red, like the lovely Betty Boop. Or Jessica Rabbit for those who are too young to remember Betty Boop. Come to think of it, how the heck do I even remember who Jessica Rabbit is? I've never seen those Roger Rabbit movies. I've never even heard of any criticism about them. My knowledge of the Roger Rabbit movies is all from that one review that the Angry Video Game Nerd did of his NES game. I distinctly remember him talking really dirty to Jessica Rabbit on his playphone. Also, the vision of this goddess aroused me to no end. There's probably a good joke about carrots and arousal muddled around in this gibberish somewhere, but I'm far too tired to craft it. Right now, the red on this packaging reminds me of hickory smoked bacon. That may have to do with the fact that I'm cooking some right now. The scent is wafting through the air at a furious pace. So much so, that I'm afraid all the dogs in the neighborhood will come bounding to my door any second now. You know a dog's sense of smell is so powerful that they can smell different types of cancer? It has to do with the different aroma each tissue gives off. Really amazing stuff, I wonder if each one of my taste buds have such an ability. Not to taste cancer ...
