FamilyFun April Fool’s Day Recipes: Cookie Dough & Cheese Plate

March 29, 2014 by Momstart 7 Comments

What better way to fool your friends this April Fool’s Day then with a few deceptively delicious tricks?! FamilyFun Magazine has two “faux” recipes to celebrate April’s Fool’s Day in good taste.

FamilyFun’s “faux cookie dough dip” has the texture and flavor of homemade cookie dough, but it’s actually a dip in disguise. Also be sure to try the “tease cheese platter” where cookies and candy chews stand in for the traditional savory snack.

Tease cheese platter

Ingredients:

Vanilla sandwich cookies

Sugar Sprinkles

Fruit chews

Directions:

To make the crackers, pull apart several vanilla sandwich cookies. Leave the filling intact and scatter green sugar sprinkles on half the pieces. Scrape away any filling from the others. For the cheese, soften white and orange fruit chews (we used Tootsie Fruit Rolls) in the microwave for a few seconds, then shape into cubes or roll the candy flat and use a knife to trim it into rectangles. Form the holes with a small cookie cutter or piping tip.

Faux cookie dough dip Recipe

Ingredients:

Chickpeas

Brown sugar

Peanut butter

Oats

Milk

Vanilla

Salt

Baking soda

Chocolate chips

Apple slices

Directions:

In a food processor, blend 11/2 cups chickpeas, 6 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 cup peanut butter (we used a natural, unsweetened variety), 3 tablespoons oats, 1 tablespoon milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and baking soda. Fold in 1/3 cup chocolate chips. Serve with apple slices or other fresh fruit. When snack time is over, tell your kids they are now full of beans!

    Ha! These are hilarious, entirely doable (I have the ingredients), fun for kids and just on time. Thanks for thinking of this. I have a cutting board in the shape of the state of Texas to add to the fun.

    While April Fool’s Day isn’t officially a “holiday” – it is a FUN day to celebrate (within the bounds of reason and decency!) The only thing I don’t like about this tasty little prank is that you are faking people out with relatively “healthy” foods that are actually kind of junky, sugary candy snacks…

    Still this is an essentially harmless little “fooled ya” joke – that is very creative and MOST people (with a sense of humor) will doubly enjoy and appreciate (both the joke and the sweet snack” – so I guess it’s a win-win prank. (Pinned and Shared on FB) Thanks!
