Tips

  • Use some strawberry, caramel, or chocolate syrup like soy sauce.
  • Make Thai Sticky Rice (Below) and use in place of the marshmallow or mini-donut.


Things You'll Need

  • Fruit by the Foot or Fruit Roll-Ups (preferably green)
  • Mini powdered donuts
  • Swedish fish
  • Pull and Peel licorice
  • Marshmallows
  • Jelly beans
  • Strawberry, caramel, or chocolate syrup.
  • Knife


Thai Sticky Rice

  • 2 cups glutinous (sticky) rice, soaked in cold water for at least one hour and drained
  • 1 1/4 cups coconut milk, canned or freshly prepared
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 Tblsp. of sugar

In a saucepan bring to a boil: rice, coconut milk, salt, sugar and 1 1/4 cup water. Stir. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, about 8-10 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Transfer rice to a steamer or double saucepan and steam 15-20 minutes over boiling water, until rice is cooked through. Mold the cooked rice into a 1/2 inch thick square and cut into shapes for recipe.
