Rock Candy
2 c granulated sugar
Heavy cord
1 c water
Put one cup of water into a small saucepan, pour 2 cups of granulated sugar into the water, heat the water and sugar on the stove over a medium heat, continue stirring until the sugar melts, keep adding sugar and stirring until it melts, stop adding sugar when you see that it will no longer dissolve in the water (that is until you see sugar lying on the bottom of the saucepan). Remove the pot from the stove, let the liquid cool until it is just warm. Pour the liquid into a clean glass jar.
Tie one end of a piece of heavy cord around the middle of a pencil. Place the pencil over the top of the glass jar letting the cord fall into the liquid. Crystals will begin to form in a few hours. The next day, remove the cord from the jar, pour the sugar liquid back into the saucepan, reheat and cool it just as you did before. Pour the liquid back into the jar and reinsert the cord with the crystals into it. More crystals will form. If you repeat this procedure every day the crystal candy will grow bigger and bigger. When it has reached a size that pleases you, snip off any excess string and enjoy.
Rudolph the Reindeer
1/4 c Peanut butter; creamy
2 sl Whole wheat bread
16 Raisins
4 Cherries
16 Pretzels; twist style
Spread peanut butter on bread slices and cut each slice into four triangles. Turn triangles so point is down, then place two raisins in center for eyes. Cut cherry in half and place one half at bottom point for nose. Break twist pretzels to make antlers and place at upper two corners. Variation: Turn pretzel down near nose to make cats with whiskers.
Snake Hot Dogs
1 Hot dog
1 Hot dog bun
Take hot dog and make horizontal slits (that go a little more than halfway through the hot dog) down half the length of the hot dog. For the other half of the hot dog do the same thing but make the slits on the opposite side. When boiled (or microwaved) the hot dog will twist like a snake. Serve on a hot dog bun with chili or cheese if desired.

1 Apple; cored
8 Teddy grahams
2 Gummi bears
1/4 c Peanut butter; creamy

peanut butter side up. Top with second apple circle, peanut butter side up, and secure to tops of toothpicks to form a carousel. Stand four teddy grahams in the peanut butter between the toothpicks. Place a gummi bear in the center of the carousel roof. Repeat to make a second carousel. Serve, being careful with toothpicks.
