Spread in 9 x 13 pan:
1. 1 stick melted margarine
2. 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3. 1 pkg. (12 oz) chocolate chips
4. 1 pkg. (12 oz) butterscotch chips
5. 1 cup coconut
6. 1 cup chopped walnuts
7. 1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
Bake at 350 degrees F 25-30 minutes (until top starts to turn golden). Cut into squares. Cool and chill.

Frozen Yogurt Pie

Mix 2 fruit yogurt containers with one tub (8 oz.) Cool Whip. If desired, you can add jam for extra fruit flavor. Spoon into graham cracker crust. Freeze. (Note: yogurt containing gelatin will result in a spongey, Chiffon-like? pie. I prefer using yogurt/Greek yogurt that doesn't contain gelatin.) Please note that the foil pie tin the crust cones in can be a little bit sharp.

Monkey bread

4 cans biscuits - the traditional kind, not Grands, not layers (40 biscuits total).
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 stick margarine
1 tsp. vanilla

Cut (or tear) biscuits into fourths. Mix together 2/3 cups sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Roll each piece in mixture. Drop biscuits into greased 12-cup Bundt pan. Combine remaining sugar, cinnamon, margarine, and vanilla. Boil. Pour over biscuits. Bake in 350 degree oven 40 minutes. Turn immediately out onto a plate and served warm. Can be wrapped in foil and reheated.

For more of a traditional baking experience you might try Bisquick’s strawberry shortcake, boxed brownies, or a boxed cake that you enhance - our family likes Gooey Butter cake, Piña Colada cake (non-alcoholic), and Strawberry cake. I can provide these recipes if you wish.

Naan pizza (I like Trader Joe’s naan as a base)

My two year old likes recipes where you can be creative, and where you can take special orders. For example, he likes it when we make small pizzas on na'an and he can run around asking people what they want on their pizza and then zoom back to the kitchen to help me arrange the toppings for each person. We've done the same thing with individual fruit salads, and with individual pasta salads.

No on the Rice Krispy treats, the butter/marshmallow goop is too hot, and if you let it cool down, it's too late.

I like this because of the Ziploc bag idea: https://www.firstbites.org/guacamole-made-with-little-hands

I actually use a different guacamole recipe I like better, but kids love helping and squishing it up in the bag.
