When my youngest daughter asked for an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas, my first thought was of eating expensive light-bulb baked cakes. But I found out that you can use real food in the Easy Bake Oven and Santa was given the green light to bring one in his sack.
He also brought a copy of Baking with Mommy Cookbook, which has some great little recipes in it, including this one for Marshmallow Mud.
Gather up your ingredients:
2 Tbs. Rice Cereal (we used Honey Bunches)
5 small marshmallows
1 Tbs. chocolate chips
1/2 tsp. butter
Butter the pan
Put the cereal in the buttered pan
Put the chocolate chips in
Add the marshmallows and smoosh them down a bit. We learned the hard way that there is not much room inside the Easy Bake Oven.
Bake for 5 minutes. Stir and drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. The kids were happy with the taste of these.
We also made a little chocolate fondue in the warming cup, by filling the cup with chocolate chips.
Yum!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I loved my little oven when I was a girl! Fun memories. This is perfect for my grandaughters who love their Easy Bake Oven too. I came here from “Sits” and I saw it was a special day for you so Happy Anniversary!
Oh, that is so yummy. If I wasn’t trying to diet, I would make a big batch for me!
I saw at SITS it was your anniversary.
Happy Anniversary, wishing you many more years!
Good morning SITSta! 🙂
Yum, yum! Your blog made me so hungry, lol. Thanks for sharing.
I didn’t know you could make “real” food in an easy bake oven. Thanks for commenting on my blog yesterday.
Brilliant use of the Easy Bake Oven! I’ll see if I still have one in the attic…
Mmmm looks fun AND delish!
An easy bake oven is the one thing I remember requesting for Christmas that I really and truly wanted – and never got.
Oh what a great blog! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂 I especially love the little marshmallow eater in the lat image. 🙂
thanks for stopping by my blog. i love both of your blogs, they are so cute! and i think i am going to have to steal the spice organization tip!!
Cute! I started to buy my daugter an easy bake this year, but for I’m afraid of them for some reason. I am seeking therapy.
I love the Easy Bake Oven. (did you ever watch Friends? Easy Monica’s Bakery?? ha)
I wish you had a recipe for that stuff that made like dozens! okay, maybe its a good thing that you dont. =)
who would of thunk it….nummy…
Wow! I didn’t realize the easy bake oven actually made regular food! lol! Ashley 🙂
Wow, I wouldn’t buy her an Easy Bake because I remembered the cake tasting a little “bleh”. (We did get the cupcake maker, though.) I didn’t realize you could make other stuff with the Easy Bake!
There’s just nothing like easy baked oven food!! I remember as a kid I thought that was THE BEST. Now that I’m older I’ve had it again and realize those brownies taste like cardboard!
Ooh, this brings back memories for sure! 😉 I’ll have to keep this in mind for when my daughter is old enough in a few years.
We, er, I mean, my daughter got an easy bake oven for Christmas, too. (I loved mine as a child!) I did not know about the book, but we found some fun recipes on line. I can’t wait to try this one.
So excited…
Thanks for sharing!
