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 stopping 🙂
I miss that easy bake oven!
That so cute! My sister had one of those!
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!

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.
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!
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!
Wow! I didn’t realize the easy bake oven actually made regular food! lol! Ashley 🙂
who would of thunk it….nummy…
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. =)
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.
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!!
Oh what a great blog! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂 I especially love the little marshmallow eater in the lat image. 🙂
An easy bake oven is the one thing I remember requesting for Christmas that I really and truly wanted – and never got.
Mmmm looks fun AND delish!
Brilliant use of the Easy Bake Oven! I’ll see if I still have one in the attic…
I didn’t know you could make “real” food in an easy bake oven. Thanks for commenting on my blog yesterday.
Yum, yum! Your blog made me so hungry, lol. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning SITSta! 🙂
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!
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!
