EASY & FUN Snacks for the BEACH

Chocolate Sun-due

The hot sun isn't always a candy bar's best friend,
but this solar-powered treat makes the most of
the sun's chocolate-melting abilities.

-Chocolate bars (1 for each person; we used
1.55 ounce Hersey's Milk Chocolate bars)
-Fruit for dipping, such as strawberries or Bananas

AT HOME: Unwrap the chocolate bars and place them
in separate plastic containers with tight-fitting lids,
1 per container. Wash the fruits (slice them too, if
necessary: leave bananas unpeeled to prevent browning)
and place them in the separate plastic containers as well.

AT the BEACH: Leave the containers with chocolate
in the sun, covers on, until the chocolate has melted.
Then simply dip the fruit into the chocolate, using
cocktail picks or skewers if you like.


Sail-ery Boats

Ants on a log take to the high seas with this cool
seafaring version of the classic snack.
1 bunch celery
1 container dip, such as whipped cream cheese,
peanut butter, or Nutella
1 package triangular crackers (such as Triscut thin Crisps)

At Home: Wash the celery stalks and cut them into 3-inch
long boats and fill each one with dip. Pack the stalks in a
plastic bag or container and refrigerate them, transferring
them to your cooler before heading to the beach.

At the Beach: Press a cracker into each boat for a sail. (If
you can't find a triangular cracker, just use square ones to
create a fleet of old-fashioned square-riggers.)~

Enjoy.... ~HUGS~
