My mom was teaching the second grade class on Wednesday nights in the summer and they were studying the life of Moses and the children of Israel in Egypt. She decided to make bricks for the kids to eat the night they were talking about what kind of work the Israelites did when they were slaves. She melted chocolate almond bark in a pot and added chow mien noodles to the chocolate. After stirring very well, she poured them into ice trays, and put them in the refrigerator to harden.
Right before class, she took them out and VIOLA! edible bricks! The kids loved them!
I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is great - in the end, we made "bricks" using broken up malt biscuits & a butter & condensed milk mixture (basically, lolly cake but without the lollies), pressed into ice cube trays. We froze them to make them set quicker so the kids got to eat them the same day. YUM.
ReplyDeletethe kids had to break up the biscuits & melt the butters etc & then mix it & press it into the molds - & the leader in charge spoke to them as her "slaves" the whole time.
They thought it was awesome. :)
