Here’s a step-by-step guide for making Tic Tac Toe Treats—a fun, edible game that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day or any festive occasion!
Ingredients:
- Graham crackers (split each cracker into squares for smaller portions)
- Candy melts (pink or any color you like)
- Conversation hearts (choose two different colors to represent each player)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Candy Melts:
- Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Set Up Your Piping Bag:
- Transfer the melted candy into a small piping bag or a sandwich bag. If using a sandwich bag, snip a small corner off for easy piping.
- Prepare the Graham Cracker Game Boards:
- Split each graham cracker along its perforation lines to create smaller, individual squares.
- Use the piping bag to draw a tic-tac-toe grid on each graham cracker, with two vertical and two horizontal lines.
- Allow the Candy Lines to Set:
- Let the candy lines dry for about 5-10 minutes, or until hardened.
- Set Up the Tic Tac Toe Game:
- Once the candy has set, the graham crackers are ready for play!
- Use two different colors of conversation hearts as game pieces and play a game of tic-tac-toe on each graham cracker board.
- Enjoy:
- After the game, enjoy eating the sweet treats together!
Tips:
- Storage: Store any leftover graham cracker boards in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
- Extra Fun: Make multiple boards for a larger gathering or party so everyone can play at the same time!
These treats are fun to make and eat, combining a snack with a little game to play!
