Cooking Games and Candy


One of my favorite elements to use in cooking games are the various forms of candy. You can use your favorite types of candy in any number of cooking games, although they are almost certainly going to be desserts or sweet snack foods. The following are a few of my favorite candy cooking games.

Gingerbread Houses – Decidedly a winter treat, gingerbread houses let you slather sheets of gingerbread with icing and then decorate with your favorite candies. If you get creative, you can figure out all kinds of things to do with candy. Licorice laces can be piping. Candy canes can be fence posts. Tootsie rolls can be logs for the fire and colored sugar and sprinkles can make paths and rivers.

Ice Cream Sundaes – Who can resist the idea of ice cream lathered with chocolate and sprinkled with your favorite candy and nut combinations? Of course the best way to eat a candy ridden ice cream sundae is with whipped cream and cherries on top.

Frosted Cookies – I think frosted sugar cookies are one of the greatest ways to send a message. Ice the cookies and then spell out letters and symbols using small candy pieces. Arrange the statement you’re making on a plate or cardboard and deliver.
