Healthy Bake Sale Recipes

On May 4th the Grade 3 students with the help of their parents, put on a healthy bake sale.  They made and brought one of two items, a light candy apple or healthy chocolate puffed wheat squares.  The students went classroom to classroom before one of the recess' to sell their wares to the delight of the students.  Here are the recipes they used:

Healthy Chocolate Puffed Wheat Squares:

5 cups puffed wheat cereal

3 ounces dark chocolate 70%

1/4 cup chocolate protein powder

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup unsweetened  apple sauce

1 teaspoon vanilla

1)  Grease a 9x9 inch pan.

2 ) Measure out the puffed wheat into a large bowl.

3)  In a medium saucepan on low heat, melt and mix the remaining ingredients.

4 ) Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl of puffed wheat and stir.

5 ) Press the chocolate puffed wheat mixture into the greased pan and refrigerate for a couple hours before cutting into squares.

Light Candy Apples

Your favorite variety of apple, Gala, Ambrosia, Granny Smiths all work well

Popsicle sticks

Dark chocolate

Caramels

1) Remove the stem and push the Popsicle sticks in far enough that you can pick up the apple.

2) Melt the chocolate and/or caramels in a double boiler (separately if using both) until it runs off the spoon.

3) place the apples on wax paper and drizzle the chocolate then the caramel over the apple to make a pretty pattern.  Before the drizzle cools stick several M& M plain candies into the drizzle around the apple.  When cool and dry wrap the apples in saran wrap and  tie with a ribbon.

The students make over $300.00 to purchase the supplies to buy and make healthy lunches for an inner city school that has had their Thursday lunch program funding cut.  Good work Grade 3's!
