BOOGERS-ON-A-STICK
Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) jar processed cheese
spread (such as Cheez Whiz)
Green food coloring
25-30 pretzel sticks
Directions:
With an adult's help, melt the processed
cheese spread in the microwave oven or on top of the stove, according to
directions on the jar.
Allow the cheese to cool slightly
in the jar.
Using a long handled spoon, carefully
stir about three drops of green food coloring into the warm cheese, using
just enough to turn the cheese a delicate "snot" green.
To form "boogers:" Dip and twist
the tip of each pretzel stick into the cheese, lift out, wait twenty seconds,
then dip again.
When cheese lumps reach an appealingly
boogerish size, set pretzels booger-down onto a sheet of waxed paper.
If the cheese in the jar begins
to stiffen, simply reheat it.
Allow finished boogers-on-stickes
to cool at room temperature for ten minutes, or until cheese is firm.
Gently pull boogers off waced paper
and arrange on a serving platter.
Serves: 5 to 6
