Kids Recipes


Below is the Recipe of the Week to cook Kid-Friendly Meals & Snacks. Cooking with your children is a great way to teach them skills, have fun together and make any day more special! 

We like to offer kid-friendly recipes or easy kid recipes to make cooking fun for your kids by offering fun foods for them or cooking with them.


If you like to cook, or just like swapping recipes (you don’t have to be a gourmet!), we’d love to have your favorites! Please contact us if you’d like to submit a recipe to share.  


 

This Week's Recipe:


Chocolate Covered Cherries

Marrying chocolate and cherry is one of life's sweet pleasures. Indulge in these luscious maraschino cherries wrapped in a delicate dough of butter, vanilla and powdered sugar, then dipped in melted chocolate.

 

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons melted butter
  • 6 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 pounds confectioners' sugar
  • 3 (10 ounce) jars maraschino cherries, drained
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tablespoon shortening

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and sugar. Knead dough, and form it into balls with a cherry wrapped in the middle. The balls should be approximately the size of walnuts. Place balls in the freezer to chill.
  2. In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips and shortening together. Dip the cooled balls in the chocolate, let cool on parchment paper.
