Cooking Kids

Here’s a Friday fun recipe you can make for dessert tonight with your kids. Smaller children enjoy crushing up the cookies, while older children take the responsiblity for mixing the ingredients.

You need:

1 package of vanilla or French vanilla instant pudding

1 package of Oreo cookies

1 container of whipped topping

Take the cookies out of the package and crumble them into a bowl. Kids will like putting a handful of cookies into a Ziploc bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin, or giving them a beat down with a can. Meanwhile, let an older child make the pudding according to package directions. Fold the carton of whipped topping into the pudding and then mix in the crushed cookies.

Alternatives for the traditional recipe include:

 Adding a half cup of peanut butter to the recipe

Changing the flavor of pudding to chocolate or butterscotch

Using peanut butter sandwich cookies or thin mint cookies instead of chocolate.
