What is a good snack for going to the drive-in?

Answer 1

Cinnamon Raisin Soft Pretzels
Tantalize your taste buds with the sweet smells of cinnamon sugar and freshly baked bread swirling through your kitchen. These soft pretzels are simply scrumptious served warm from the oven or reheated in a toaster oven.

Ingredients
3/4 cup (175 mL) raisins
3-3/4 cup (850 mL) all purpose flour
1/4 cup (50 mL) brown sugar
1-1/2 tbsp (22 mL) baking powder
1/2 tsp. (1 mL) baking soda
1/2 tsp. (2 mL) salt
2 cups (500 mL) plain yogurt
1 egg
1/4 cup (50 mL) granulated sugar
1 tsp. (5 mL) cinnamon
2 tbsp. (30 mL) butter
Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper and grease the paper lightly.
Measure the raisins into a bowl and pour boiling water over to cover. Let soak while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt and the egg. Pour the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and stir well until everything is blended. Drain the raisins and add to the dough, mixing well -- the dough will be quite soft.
Sprinkle some additional flour onto the counter or table (or wherever you like to work) and turn the dough out onto this floured surface. Knead the dough about 10 to 15 times, just to make it all uniform, then cut into 12 equal pieces. Working with one lump of dough at a time, roll it out into an even rope about 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick. Twist it into a pretzel shape -- experiment until you get it right -- and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining lumps of dough.
Stir together the cinnamon and sugar and melt the butter in a small dish. Brush each pretzel with some butter, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
Servings: Makes 12 pretzels (or whatever they turn out to be!).

Chocolate Popcorn Clusters
Gooey chocolate, crunchy peanuts and sweet corn syrup and butter make popcorn pop! Perfect for birthday parties and late-night snacks, these crispy, crunchy clusters are delightfully sweet and salty to satisfy every craving.

Ingredients
12 cups (12 litres) plain popped popcorn (see below)
3 cups (750 mL) peanuts -- salted or unsalted
1-3/4 cups (425 mL) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup (250 mL) corn syrup
1/4 cup (50 mL) butter
Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a large roasting pan. Line a large cookie sheet (or two smaller ones) with waxed paper.
Measure the popcorn and peanuts into the roasting pan. In a small saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, corn syrup and butter. Place over low heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture is smooth and just beginning to boil. Remove from heat and pour over the popcorn mixture, tossing to coat everything as evenly as possible.
Place in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and dump popcorn mixture onto the waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Let cool completely, then break into clumps to serve. Store leftovers (as if!) in an airtight container.
Servings: Makes about 12 cups (3 liters).
NOTE:This should be made with popcorn prepared either in a pan on the stove top or in a hot air popper. Don't add any additional flavoring or butter.

How kids can help:Older kids can combine and melt chocolate mixture on the stove.
Help break up popcorn clumps when cool.


ENJOY!

That's like driving from where I live to Myrtle Beach I hope you have another driver or plan to stop and sleep abit. Bring a couple of refillable water bottles with you, drinking water on a regular basis will give you energy and help keep awake. Bring fruit, a couple of apples, oranges banana; make a couple of Sandwiches and put them in a thermal bag with an ice pack. Stop every 2 to 3 hours and take a five minute walk to exercise your legs and get the blood circulating. Stay away from sugar drinks or snacks, the sugar energy will wear off and make you more tired. Have a safe trip
