1. Cool Parties 4 Kids-. Mini Fruity Rice Cakes:

If using raw honey, DO NOT FEED TO CHILDREN UNDER 1 YEAR ID AGE!
Directions:
- Let the cream cheese soften.
- put 4oz of cream cheese in a bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup of nut butter to a bowl
- Add 1-2 tbsp of honey (or to taste) to each bowl of cream cheese and nut butter. Stir in completely.
- Prepare the fruit: wash all berries and remove stems from blueberries and strawberries.
- Peel and slice the banana
- If desired, use a fruit/vegetable cutter to cut shapes into the strawberry and banana slices.
- Spread the mini rice cakes with either the cream cheese mixture or the nut butter mixture.
- Place the fruit on the mini rice cakes in a decorative manner.
Serve soon after preparation as the rice cakes can absorb the moisture from the cream cheese and nut butter.
This is the tool I used to cut the fruit–great for also cutting fun shapes from vegetables.
These rice cakes are a great size for these and other snack-size treats.
