Green Eggs and Ham (Bacon and Eggs) - August 5, 2012

Summer school is finally over, and I thought I'd share a cute little idea for some teachers or parents of youngins out there. I taught a Dr. Seuss summer school class and every year I make green eggs and ham to go along with the book. I don't make actual green eggs and ham because that's a lot of work, and frankly, I don't like eggs - and I don't think the kids would care for it either... so I make these instead. They're a pretty big hit.

Green Eggs and Ham

Ingredients:

1 package vanilla almond bark
green M&M's
Lattice pretzels

Directions:

Melt the almond bark as directed on the package. While the almond bark is melting, spread out a bunch of pretzels on wax paper. Put a small blob of the bark onto each pretzel and let set for a few minutes. Add an M&M to the center of each pretzel/chocolate blob with the "M" facing down. Let the Green Eggs and Ham sit until they have completely set. Store in an airtight container.

 I apologize for the pictures... they turned out a little wonky. I have no idea why.

Husband Rating:
He tried so hard to dip the pretzels in the melted bark when I wasn't looking. I had to slap his hand away many times. These aren't really something you'd crave when you wanted a dessert but they're cute and bite size and taste pretty yummy. Use the stick pretzels with almond bark and yellow M&M's to make bacon and eggs. My mom always did that when my sister and I were younger.
