Girly Truck Crispy Treat

I’ve been asked to host a ‘transport’ themed workshop and I’ve been experimenting with different ideas.  I wanted to see if I could make a truck look girly as there will be girls as well as boys at the workshop.  I cut the truck out of crispy treats and coated it in white candy melts.  I dipped it and it would have been better if I’d brushed the candy melt on as it was quite uneven.

By the time I’d iced the truck and filled it with it’s ‘cargo of coal’ (oreo crumbs), it looked a bit like a dump truck and it definitely looked like a girls truck.

My daughter loved it and now we need to experiment with different girly cargos, such as flower sprinkles or pink candy.

School Bus Crispy Treats

I bought a whole lot of candy melts on sale a few weeks ago and on a whim bought some yellow ones, not really knowing what I’d do with them.  Then I was asked to host a ‘going to kindergarten’ party and suddenly thought maybe I could make a school bus out of crispy treats.

I don’t have a school bus cookie cutter so I had to modify a truck shape. I dipped the crispy treat in the candy melt and it didn’t cover very evenly.  It would definitely have been better to brush the candy on.

The end result looked enough like a school bus for my 3 year old to know what it was, but it was quite hard to make, so I don’t think it would work for a kindergartener with no icing experience.  It was fun to try though.
