Kid Territory:Recipes: Hornbill Hoopla

Hornbills are one of the most interesting birds in the rain forest. Their diet is mostly fruits, which is why I thought Fruit Loops® would be perfect for this special snack. By the way, hornbills are great at catching food in their large bills. Try tossing a few Fruit Loops in the air and see if you can catch them in your beak—er, mouth!

Ingredients

6

 cups Fruit Loops

1

 package (10 ounces) marshmallows

3

 tablespoons margarine


Melt margarine in a large saucepan on low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until they're completely melted. Remove from the heat and add the Fruit Loops. Stir until well coated. Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, press mixture evenly into a 13"x 9"x 2" pan coated with cooking spray.

Cut into Hornbill Hoopla squares for a colorful snack!
