Reicpe: Peanut Butter Worms

Here's a fun recipe to make with your kids. I made some with my great neice Tesia. They were fun to make and fun to eat.  

Peanut Butter Worms

Makes about 2 dozen

1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 cups dry milk powder
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Whole raisins, currants and/or halved peanuts

1. Combine the peanut butter and honey in a food processor or mixer and mix well. Add the dry milk powder and the confectioners; sugar and mix again until smooth and well blended.

2. Turn out onto a work surface and gather the mixture into one long log. Pull off a small handful and roll into a thick worm, about the thickness of a finger. Decorate with two raisins, currants or peanut halves at one end to look like eyes. Transfer to a tray and repeat with the remaining peanut butter mixture. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container. The worms can be refrigerated for up to 1 day before serving.

Note from the book: you can also make snails by coiling up the worms and using black licorice strings for the antennae.
