I teach an earth science class after school. Each week I have a snack, story, activity and a craft all based around one theme. One week I was teaching about volcanoes. I couldn't decide on a snack that would be dairy free and nut free. Finally I went back to the basics. I made rice crispy treats, one of my all time favorite snacks. But instead of a simple square I formed the warm mixture into individual volcano shapes. I put a maraschino cherry in the mouth of the volcano and I brought strawberry syrup to drizzle down the side for lava. MMMMMMMMMM...they were outrageously delicious. I'm so glad rice crispy treats have always been there for me. Thanks Kelloggs
