No Sandbox for Me: Funny Friday

Today’s post is this month’s Funny Friday, a regular feature published on the last Friday of every month. Funny Friday is a collaborative project. Each month one of the participants submits a picture, then we all write 5 captions or thoughts inspired by that month’s picture. Links to the other bloggers’ posts are below, click on them and see what they’ve come up with. I hope we bring a smile to your face as you start your weekend.

Here’s today’s picture. It was submitted by Jules  of The Bergham Chronicles.

1. Little girl to herself: Darn, I can't reach that clutch thing. Oh well, I just won't use it. What could it hurt?

2. Little girl to herself: Mom doesn't want to drive me to my friend's house. No problem. I'll show her. I'll just borrow this thing and drive myself.

3. Little girl to herself: I don't mind driving myself to the mall, but I sure hope it doesn't rain before I get there.

4. Little girl to herself: Hmmm . . . I forgot, is this supposed to be like race cars where I go as fast as I can, or like bumper cars where I hit as many other vehicles as I can?

5. Little girl to herself: I'm sure dad just said no sandbox because it's too much work. No problem, I'll just borrow this big dirt scooper thing and dig my own in the front yard. Dad won't have to do anything. He'll be so proud of me.

And now for something yummy. Is it dinner? Is it dessert? You decide. Happy April Fools day, everyone!

Printable Recipe

 

Ingredients:

1 tube (about 16 oz) Pillsbury Peanut Butter Cookie dough

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/3 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup raspberry jam

3/4 cup vanilla or cream cheese frosting

red food coloring

2 ounces vanilla bark

about 4 red fruit roll ups

1 green pull and peel twizzler
5 Crows (black licorice gumdrops)

Directions:

*Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a pizza pan without holes in the bottom.

*Using your hands, pat the cookie dough out onto the pan.

*Bake for about 16 to 18 minutes until it browns. Remove from oven and cool completely.

*While the cookie is baking, melt the white chocolate chips and chocolate chips until smooth. Spread thinly onto a piece of parchment paper, you should have a rectangle approximated 12 X 10 inches. Allow to just start to set, about 5 minutes.

*Using the tip of a sharp knife, cut mushroom shapes into the chocolate. Refrigerate to set completely.

*Whisk the jam together with the frosting. Add red food coloring, a few drops at a time until the frosting is red. Spread over the cooled cookie to about 1 inch from the edges.

*Shred the vanilla bark with a vegetable shredder so it looks like shredded cheese. Sprinkle over the frosting.

*Cut circles from the fruit roll ups to look like pepperoni. Add on top of the vanilla bark.

*Peel the twizzler and cut into small pieces to look like green pepper. Sprinkle over the top.
*Cut the licorice gumdrops into thirds. Sprinkle over the top.

*Remove the "mushrooms" from the refrigerator. Cut away the excess chocolate and remove the chocolate mushrooms with a spatula. Place onto the "pizza."

*Slice and serve.
