Flying Saucers for Kids & for Fun

 

Plain Rice Cakes
Peanut Butter
Banana Slices
Milk Chocolate Candy Bars
Miniature Marshmallows

It's best if you let the kids make these one at a time. Less mess and they'll get filled up quicker if there is some time between snacks.

Lay a plain rice cake on a plate which is microwave proof. Let the kids spread some peanut butter on the rice cake. Then, let them lay some banana slices on the peanut butter. Place a piece of milk chocolate candy bar on top of the bananas and peanut butter. Then, add a few miniature marshmallows to the stack.

Place the plate containing the flying saucer into a microwave and zap at full power for 20 to 25 seconds. Let stand about one minutes before eating.

1 Can Spam
Popsicle sticks
1 tube corn bread twists
Mustard or Catsup
