Though we made this for Valentine’s Day, it would also be the perfect gift for or party decoration for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and several other holidays.  Kids love dipping the cookies and decorating them with their favorite sprinkles!

This is one of my absolute favorite treats to make (and eat!).  Kids can help add and mix the ingredients, and then, when the popcorn is done cooking, they’ll have a great time drizzling the chocolate over the popcorn!

 

Rolo Cake Mix Bars

This is another really easy recipe to do with the kids.  I’d recommend mixing the bulk of the ingredients yourself and then calling the kids in to put the cut up Rolos on top.  The picture just can’t do this amazing dessert justice!

    Thank you for the great ideas! I love to try to get my son to help while I'm making stuff in the kitchen, but it's difficult to find kid friendly things to make.. This gives some great ideas!!

    I love those dipped marshmallows. My grandson would really enjoy them and I think that one with caramel and chocolate, I might have to try myself.
