| Zoo Trip Party | Monkey Pops
Kids will go bananas over these tasty treats.
Ingredients:
- bananas
- Popsicle sticks
- plastic freezer bags
- yogurt or warm chocolate sauce
Peel the bananas and cut in half (across the middle);
Push a Popsicle stick through the flat end, until it’s inserted at least halfway through each banana;
Place in freezer bags until party time;
Dip frozen banana pops into yogurt or chocolate sauce and serve.
Jungle on a Log
This version of “Ants on a Log” rules in the urban jungle!
Ingredients:
- celery, natural peanut butter and raisins
- animal crackers
Cut celery into 5-inch lengths and fill with peanut butter;
Put some raisins (ants) on top;
Let kids place a few animal crackers in the peanut butter so they stand up. Then eat greedily!
Bat Fruit Salad
Real bat food¬ – fruit - is the inspiration for this dish. This calls for a blend that tropical bats love. Since brown bats like bugs (a single brown bat can eat 600 mosquitoes in 1 hour!), add raisins and let kids pretend they’re bugs.
Ingredients:
- slice bananas, mangos and dates (if you can’t find mangos and dates, other fruits are okay, too)
- raisins
Simply blend the fresh fruit together in a large bowl and add raisins. Serve in cups.
Panda Cupcakes
Especially cute served on our panda dessert plates.
Ingredients:
- cupcake mix, white frosting and black decorator gel
- small round chocolate mint candies
- small round chocolate cookies or candies (larger than the mints)
- chocolate-covered raisins
You’ll also need cupcake wrappers and a cupcake tin.
Bake cupcakes, cool and frost white. Close to center, place 2 chocolate mints side by side. Complete the eyes with dab of white frosting to the middle of each mint, then a dot of black decorator gel onto the white. For the nose add a raisin. Finish with 2 cookies tucked into the top of cupcake to form ears.
