A "Non" Party Favor Bag This idea is to fun for children 6 years and older: Instead of filling goodie bags, stuff a small prize into balloons and blow them up. Tie off with colorful curly ribbon. Using a large box or childs wading pool, stuff all the balloons into it. (If you helium-fill your balloons, group them together like a bouquet and let them rise to the ceiling with the ribbons hanging down). Occassionally throughout the party, blow a whistle. Each time the whistle is blown, all the guests can chose a balloon, pop it and keep the prize. (Have a safety pin available for ease). If some prizes are too large for the balloons, insert a note telling them they can choose anything they wantProvide a colorful paper lunch bag with their name on it for them to put their prizes in to take home from a "Prize Basket". (Warning: Balloons that been popped are dangerous to small children and pets...)
Candy Shop Pizza Favors A jar filled with Dessert Pizza ingredients with the recipe attached so kids can make it at home. Truly a clever twist on the Pizza Party theme!
Pizza Dessert: In a jar, layer the dry ingredients for sugar cookies. On top of the dry ingredients, layer red M&M's (pepperoni) and coconut (Mozerella cheese). Cut out a red/white checkered material circle that overlaps the lid, tie off with red or raffia ribbon around the neck of the jar and attach a card with "other ingredients to add" (such as vanilla) and "directions" on how to make their own special dessert pizza.
Chocolate Pizza
Ingredients: 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup shortening 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon baking powder 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips 2 tablespoons shortening 2 tablespoons water
Directions Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup shortening in a double boiler and let cool. Stir in flour, sugar, eggs, and baking powder with fork. Spread crust evenly onto a well greased pizza pan. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15 minutes and let cool. Combine 3/4 cup chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons shortening and water. Melt in a doubler boiler, stirring until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over cooled chocolate crust. Decorate as desired with candies.
Chocolate Pudding Pizza
Ingredients 1 (17.5 ounce) package peanut butter cookie mix 1 (12 ounce) container softened cream cheese 1 3/4 cups cold milk 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed 1/4 cup miniature Nestle' semisweet chocolate chips
Directions Prepare cookie mix dough according to package directions. Press into a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until set and let cool. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and spread over crust. In a separate mixing bowl, beat milk and chocolate pudding mix using medium speed for 2 minutes. Spread this mixture over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until set. Spread whipped topping on top and sprinkle with Nestle' chocolate chips. Chill for 1-2 hours. Makes 12 servings
Pizza Popcorn Mix a pinch of oregano, basil, and parsley in melted butter and add to popcorn and toss. Spread popcorn in single layer on cookie sheets and let dry for an hour or so before bagging them in clear cellophane bags and tying off with colored curly ribbon. More-than-you-can-believe popcorn recipes
Pizza Toss Favors Cut out "toppings" such as pictures of mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni out of colored construction paper and a large round of brown construction paper that fits into a real pizza pan. Glue them individually to light cardboard. (These pieces will be tossed so if you want them to fly a little better, tape a penny to the back of each piece). Lay a real pizza pan on the floor a few feet away from all the guests. Give each child an equal number of toppings and have them toss them onto the pan. Whoever gets the most toppings in the pan wins and goes to the SURPRISE PIZZA PAN (another pan filled with assorted prizes) to select the prize they want to take home. Once the winner selects a prize, a new game begins until all the guests have won "one" prize. The winners do not play.
