Cooking with Kids -
Making Kid Friendly Candy Recipes

We have some fun, kid friendly recipes to share with you, including good chocolate candy recipes, peanut butter candy recipes, and other kid favorites. Also included are some tips for safely cooking with kids in the kitchen.

A few more tips -

• Never leave your child unattended around a hot stove.
• Remind your little one that the burners stay hot even after they are turned off.
• Be very careful that dish towels, hot pads, etc. do not get near a burner and catch fire.
• Remember that cooking candy (or any food that is boiling) can bubble and spatter so be mindful of where your child is standing.
• If knives (Kuhn Rikon Kinderkitchen Dog Knife with Teeth)

  are involved in the recipe preparation, monitor your child closely.

• Watch little fingers if a mixer is being used.
• Candy recipes should be followed closely so this is a great opportunlity to teach your child about measuring ingredients (and they won't even know that it is educational).
• After a little instruction in learning to measure, your child can measure and mix the ingredients to feel that they are a real part of the candy making process.
• Look for kid friendly recipes that require a minimum of ingredients and preparation time and effort.
• Base your child's involvement on his/her experience in the kitchen and the child's age. Start slowly to allow them a chance to learn and become comfortable in the kitchen.

Finally, you can make the cooking experience extra special by -

• Getting your kids their own set of kitchen utensils that are made especially for those small hands. Your child will love these tools that are sized especially for them.
• Adding kid size aprons (Kuhn Rikon Kinderkitchen White Rabbit Apron

  )and chefs hats to make your child feel extra special while whipping up there favorite recipes.

• Giving them great recipe books (Mom and Me Cookbook

  ) that are written with children in mind that your little ones will enjoy.

• Keeping all the utensils ( Paula Deen 19-Piece Kids Baking Set

  ), aprons, etc. in a container in a special place that is all their own. When it is time to start cooking, your child can gather up their supplies right away.
