Invite your kids into the kitchen for a session of sweet creativity with these easy-to-make desserts. Whether it’s rolling gooey Rice Krispie treats or layering tasty fruit parfaits, these recipes are tailor-made for tiny hands. It’s time to mix, dip, and taste your way to fun and fond memories!
Rice Krispie Treats
Rice Krispie treats are a classic and one of the easiest desserts to make with children. Melt marshmallows and butter in a pot, then let your kids help stir in the Rice Krispies. Press the mixture into a pan, cool, and cut into squares. Kids love the sticky, gooey fun of mixing and pressing the treats.
Fruit Parfaits
Fruit parfaits are healthy, colorful, and fun to assemble. Layer yogurt, granola, and a variety of chopped fruits in a clear glass. Let your kids choose their favorite fruits and layer the ingredients themselves. This dessert is delicious and gives your kids a healthy dose of vitamins.
Chocolate-Dipped Fruit
Chocolate-dipped fruit is another simple and somewhat healthy treat that kids can help prepare. Melt some chocolate in the microwave, and then have your kids dip their favorite fruits like strawberries, bananas, or apple slices into the chocolate. Place them on a baking sheet covered with wax paper, and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
