Dotty Snacks (Healthy Edition)

Monday, July 19, 2010 at 11:42PM

So, let's say you want to throw a party to celebrate my new picture book, Dotty. And let's say you want to serve snacks at it - great idea! The obvious choice would be Dotty Cupcakes, which I grant you sound divine (white icing + red m&m's = yum!). But what if you want to serve healthy snacks? Then what?, I ask you.

Well, I decided to explore the possibilities and here's what I came up with. One idea I love (and I will test and display here soon, I'm sure) is Dotty Popsicles involving lemonade dotted with fresh or frozen berries. Another idea I came up with is Dotty Fruit Salad, which could involve various kinds of grapes, blueberries, and melon balls. Personally I hate fruit salads with filler fruits like pears and oranges. This one would be 100% good stuff!

And here's my best idea of all: Dotty Cheese Crackers!

What you do to make this is you take a round cracker, cover it with cream cheese, sprinkle grated cheese on one side of it (to make the mane), add dried cherry dots and add two Bugles for horns.

Ta da! Delicious and nutricious! Let the kids assemble them themselves and you've got an edible craft project, too. After they build DOTTY (and make her invisible - get it?), they can get to work building other imaginary creatures, like the fuzzy orange creature with six horns. Or the black spotted creature with five green legs (raisins and celery). Options abound!

Dotty is available NOW at book stores so pick up a dozen or so copies today!
