November Gramma In A Box!

It is that time of the month again, time for the Gramma In A Box! I think that it drives my children a little crazy inside that we usually wait a day or two after it arrives before we start on the goodies in the box. What is a Gramma In A Box kit? This box was originally created by owner Terry, who has grandchildren who live out of state, this box gives her and her grandchildren a chance to work on decorating cookies together over Skype, over time it has turned into a full time business for other parents and grandparents who want to do the same with their children. As you can guess the November theme is 'Thanksgiving' and it comes with three fun treats to decorate with your children.

My favorite part of this subscription box is that it comes with everything you need to complete the projects! Any decorations, frosting, chocolate or other food item is included in your kit along with some wax paper to decorate over/store your projects on. The only other thing you will need is a bowl to melt the melting chocolates, and a fork (well and your microwave to melt the chocolate).

The first project we worked on together was the Turkey Buddies, this project requires: Ritz crackers, candy eyes, pumpkin seeds and candy corn. I suggest doing this project first as the remaining chocolate that isn't used for this project will be used for project number two. 

You'll need to melt the chocolate in the microwave and then place a small amount on each cracker, having your child spread it evenly over the cracker. Once that has been completed, you can add candy corn for feathers, a pumpkin seed for a nose and eyes. Your Turkey is now complete! 

Project number two is a fun Harvest Bark! We did this one a little differently than the card instructed us to do, I will go over what we did differently below. For this project you'll need the remaining chocolate from project one, cinnamon toast crunch cereal, candy corn, salted peanuts and a fall sprinkle mixture. 

The card instructs you to make one large bark and cut it into pieces after, I found that even though we used a small amount of chocolate in project one it didn't seem like we had as much left over chocolate to make the big bark it showed on the card. So instead of making one big Harvest bark we each decided to make a small bark pile so we could add what we wanted. You can also use candy corn in your bar or other small chocolates/candies you have in your home, we opted to not include the candy corn. 

The final project is always one of my personal favorites in this box! Plain sugar cookies in various shapes that you get to decorate as you please. The kids and I love working on these together, it is always a lot of fun talking with them about how they want to decorate their cookies. This time around my daughter decided to give one of the acorns a face and glasses! On the Turkey that I decorated I used a red sprinkle to add a wattle to the chin of my turkey. We also decided to use some of the sprinkles as "feathers", and also used the sugar glitter to add some sparkle to our cookies. These cookies are always so delicious! They are the perfect sugar cookie mixture so they are always soft and taste fresh (because they are).
