Dessert-<\/strong>No one wants to miss dessert so try these simple desserts for your youngest guests.<\/p>\n

Gelatin molds-<\/strong>(this is also an easy way to get kids to eat some fruit!)<\/p>\n

2-1\/2 cups boiling water
1 pkg. (8-serving size) or 2 pkg. (4-serving size each) strawberry flavored Jell-O (you can use sugar free\/low calorie)
1 cup cold orange juice
1 can (8 oz.) pineapple chunks in juice, drained
1 can (11 oz.) mandarin orange segments, drained<\/p>\n

\u2022Stir the boiling water into gelatin in large bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in the juice. Refrigerate for about 1-1\/2 hours or until thickened (test by when spoon drawn through leaves definite impression).<\/p>\n

\u2022Stir in the fruit. Spoon into 6-cup mold sprayed with cooking spray. You can purchase holiday or seasonal molds for added fun.<\/p>\n

\u2022Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Unmold and serve.<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup granulated sugar
1\/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter or margarine
1 egg, lightly beaten
1\/3 cup maple-flavored syrup
1\/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
11\/2 cups crunchy breakfast cereal, any variety
1 cup chocolate chips<\/p>\n

\u2022Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix flour and granulated sugar in medium bowl. Cut in 1\/2 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press firmly onto bottom of greased 9-inch square baking pan. Bake 20 minutes or until very lightly browned.<\/p>\n

\u2022Mix egg, syrup, brown sugar, melted butter and vanilla until well blended. Stir in cereal and chocolate chips until well coated. Spread evenly over warm crust.<\/p>\n

\u2022Bake an additional 20 to 25 min. or until topping is firm around edges and slightly soft in center. Cool on wire rack. Cut into 16 bars to serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
