<p>It&#8217;s time for more fun with snacks! I don&#8217;t know about you, but I don&#8217;t know a single person who hasn&#8217;t played or at least heard of Super Mario Brothers. It&#8217;s such a classic game franchise, including shows and movies, too! We&#8217;re big fans of the (many!) video games, so I figured some fun game inspired after school snacks would be perfect! Good luck putting these together without getting the <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTa6Xbzfq1U" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">theme song</a></strong> stuck in your head! These treats are once again super EASY to put together (as you can see, the 5 year old helped quite a bit!) and so much fun to eat!</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Flower Power of Fire Fruit Pizza</strong></p>

<p>I got FIRED up by putting a fun twist on a frosted sugar cookie with this flower fruit pizza! It&#8217;s simple, delicious, and really easy to make your own!</p>



<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Sugar Cookie Tube</li>



<li>Cream Cheese Fruit Dip</li>



<li>Strawberries (caps removed)</li>



<li>Mandarin Oranges</li>



<li>Green Grapes</li>



<li>Blackberries</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Roll out the sugar cookie onto a <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4bpwMnG" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">jelly roll pan</a></strong>.</li>



<li>Bake the cookie per the directions on the package &amp; let cool.</li>



<li>Once cooled, add your fruit to create your design.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Strawberries as the outer oval of the flower</li>



<li>Mandarin Oranges as the inner oval of the flower</li>



<li>Vertically sliced green grapes to make the stem and leaves of the flower</li>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">

<li>You could also use vanilla yogurt for a healthier option as your &#8220;sauce&#8221;.</li>



<li>Wanna <strong>LEVEL UP</strong> your creativity? Then, make a Green Mushroom out of kiwi pieces and mini marshmallows!</li>

<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>I prefer our recipe for the <a href="https://blog.mymilitarysavings.com/my-favorite-rice-krispies-treats-recipe/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Rice Krispies Treats<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></strong></a>, but you could easily pick one up at the store and use it instead!</li>



<li>You could use <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/41dHTv3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yellow Melting Wafers</a></strong> instead.</li>



<li>After we created these, my kiddo informed me that the questions marks should have been white on the blocks and NOT black.  There is a <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4gY9m9V" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pearl Glitter Glaze</a></strong> you could use instead for that&#8230;although, I think the black looks really good!</li>
</ul>
