Rainbow Poptarts

  • 8 raspberries, diced
  • 1/2 peach, peeled and diced
  • 8 mandarin oranges, diced
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and diced
  • 10-12 blueberries, diced
  • 6-8 blackberries, diced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 uncooked pie crust
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon clear vanilla extract
  • dash of almond extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons half & half or whole milk
  • red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple

Prepare all fruit for your poptarts. Mix together the sugar and cornstarch and sprinkle it over your fruit.


Cut the pie crust into four equal sized rectangles, approximately 3″x 4 1/2″ inches. Spoon the raspberries, peaches, oranges, kiwi’s, blueberries, and blackberries in layers in the center of two of the rectangles. Place the second rectangle of dough gently over the filling and use a fork to press the edges of the poptart together. Transfer carefully to a baking sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the poptarts are golden brown.

In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk or cream. Transfer the icing into 6 small, ziptop bags. Drop food coloring into each bag, tinting the icing red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Work the food coloring into the icingby smooshing the bag with your fingers until the icing is evenly colored.   Snip a small portion off the corner of each bag. Pipe the frosting over your cooked poptarts in rainbow order.


Makes 2 rainbow poptarts.

shot glasses kool aidRepeat until you have desired number of shot glasses. Place inside freezer for 6-8 hours. (I set the filled cups inside a loaf pan before placing inside the freezer just in case they overflowed.)

ice shotsRemove from freezer. Fill the small cup with hot tap water, being careful not to let it overflow onto the ice. Let sit for about 30 seconds. Remover inner cup. Run outside of larger cup under warm water until the cup loosens from the ice. Turn over and push gently on the bottom of the cup until the ice pops out. Bring shot glasses outdoors for your winter party and fill with beverage of your choice.

A few tips: You’ll want to be sure that the jars have been thoroughly cleaned prior to using and that you spray them well with cooking spray so the monkey bread easily comes out. Also do NOT overfill the jars or they will overflow.

These take minutes to prepare and are a fun way to get the kids involved in cooking their own special breakfast or dessert treats!

Monkey Bread {baked in 8 ounce mason jars} Makes 4 servings
What you’ll need:
10 refrigerated biscuits – cut into quarters
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

What to do: 
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray mason jars with cooking spray and place them into a deep sided baking tray.

2. Into a bowl, add: sugars, and cinnamon. Whisk together to combine. Place cut biscuits pieces into sugar mixture. Toss to combine and coat well.

3. Evenly distribute coated biscuit pieces between the jars. Adding a little extra of the sugar mixture as  you go. Fill only 3/4 of the way up the jar {to allow for bread to rise and not overflow}

4. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes until monkey bread has risen and is golden and bubbly. Allow jars to cool slightly prior to serving.

I’m actually making this today! I had to buy brown sugar and biscuits. I’m making it in 16oz jars though, but still!!

That’s reeeally pretty. I have gold eyeshadow. I’d like to try this one day.
