Answer 1

Butterscotch Haystacks
Estimated Times:
Preparation - 10 min | Cooking - 2 min | Cooling Time - 30 min refrigerating | Yields - 72 candies

Ingredients:

1 2/3 cups (11-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Butterscotch Flavored Morsels
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 can (8.5 oz.) or 2 cans (5 oz. each) chow mein noodles
3 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows

Directions:
LINE trays with wax paper.

MICROWAVE morsels in large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Stir in peanut butter until well blended. Add noodles and marshmallows; toss until all ingredients are coated. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto prepared trays. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Butterfinger Caramel Apples
Estimated Times:
Preparation - 15 min | Cooking - 2 min | Cooling Time - 45 min refrigerating | Yields - 6

Ingredients:

6 wooden craft sticks (found in cake decorating or hobby shops)
6 tart apples, washed, dried and stems removed
1 package (14 ounces) caramels
2 tablespoons water
2 (2.1 ounces each) NESTLÉ BUTTERFINGER Candy Bars, chopped

Directions:
LINE tray or baking sheet with wax paper. Insert 1 wooden craft stick into stem end of each apple.

MICROWAVE caramels and water in large, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 2 minutes; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

DIP each apple in melted caramel; scrape excess caramel from bottoms. Quickly roll bottom half of apples in chopped Butterfinger, then place on prepared tray. Refrigerate for 45 minutes or until set. Store apples in refrigerator in airtight container. Apples are best if they are served the same day as they are prepared.

NOTE: If caramel becomes firm, return to microwave oven for 20 to 30 seconds or until dipping consistency. Two (1.5 ounces each) NESTLÉ CRUNCH Candy Bars may be used in place of NESTLÉ BUTTERFINGER Candy Bars.

Answer 2

I had a project in a class similar to this one. I made "Strawberry Shortcakes" At home I made the strawberry shortcake. I made an angel food cake out of the box and baked it in a rectangular pan. Then when the cake has cooled you pour over strawberry jello mix. But first you must prepared the jello according to the instructions. (Which I think is to simply add water to the powder). In class I brought strawberries (already cut up and cleaned), cool whip or canned whipped cream, and the cake. I also brought plastic cups and forks. I used a round cookie cutter and cut pieces of the cake out. I placed some strawberries in the bottom of the cup, then a round of the cake, then more strawberries and then topped it with the whipped cream. You can use whatever order you want. I'm not sure if this will work for you because you can't use an oven. I wasn't sure if that just meant no oven in the classroom. I hope this helps. Good luck!
