To make these fun treats, melt three tablespoons of butter over low heat and add one package of marshmallows. Stir until melted then remove from heat. Add Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal. Using buttered spatula or wax paper, evenly press mixture into 13" x 9" x 2" pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into 2" x 3" rectangles. Press a jumbo craft stick into the bottom of each treat. Follow the manufacturer’s directions to melt the colored melting chocolate. Dip and drip the colored chocolate over the top of the treat. Set treats on waxed paper and allow to set. Students will love both the taste and the look, and they might be inspired to create or paint something beautiful of their own!
In a heavy saucepan, combine one cup of sugar, one cup of corn syrup, one fourth cup of water and one fourth teaspoon of salt. Cook over medium heat until combined. Remove from the heat. Add the three tablespoons of butter and one teaspoon of vanilla, and the food coloring if desired. Stir until butter is melted. Immediately pour over popcorn and stir until evenly coated. When mixture is cool enough to handle, quickly shape into 3" balls. VBS students will love the colors, which will fit in with the Geared Up for God VBS theme, and everybody loves popcorn!

Cut a block of cheese into cubes. We used mozzarella cheese, but any block cheese will do. Carefully poke a mini pretzel stick into one cheese block and through another one. Poke a grape onto the top of the pretzel. Use a toothpick to stick the mustard, peanut butter or melted white chocolate to the back of the candy eyeballs. Stick the eyes to the top cheese block. This is a snack worth cheering for!
