Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 robots
Ingredients
- 12 graham crackers
- 1 cup frosting
- 24 candy eyes
- 12 chocolate-covered pretzels
- 1 cup assorted candies for decoration
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and place them on a clean, dry work surface. Ensure children wash their hands before starting.
- Lay out 12 whole graham crackers on a large cutting board or clean kitchen counter as the robot base.
- Using a butter knife or offset spatula, carefully spread a thin, even layer of frosting across each graham cracker. This will serve as the "glue" for decorations.
- Place two candy eyes near the top third of each graham cracker, positioning them symmetrically to create the robot's face.
- Position a chocolate-covered pretzel horizontally in the middle of each graham cracker to represent the robot's arms or body detail.
- Use additional candies to create unique robot features like buttons, antenna, or decorative patterns. Encourage children to be creative with their designs.
- For added stability, you can use a small additional dab of frosting to secure candy decorations in place.
- Allow robots to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to let frosting slightly set and stabilize decorations.
- Optional: Take photos of children's robot creations before enjoying their tasty snack.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the fun, edible robot snacks!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: Have all ingredients measured and laid out before starting to keep the activity smooth and enjoyable.
- Use Room Temperature Frosting: Slightly softened frosting spreads more easily and helps candies stick better.
- Let Kids Get Creative: There's no "wrong" way to design a robot - encourage unique and imaginative decorations.
- Use Disposable Gloves: For younger children, this can help keep hands clean and make the process more hygienic.
- Consider Allergy Alternatives: Swap ingredients if needed to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Take Photos: Capture the fun process and the final robotic creations before devouring them!
- Have Extra Decorations: More candy options mean more excitement and design possibilities.
