📺Inside Out Crispy Rice Rollers Movie Night Recipe

Pin It

One of my family’s favorite movies is Inside Out, so I made a fun movie snack for us to enjoy while watching this movie! I made Inside Out Rice Rollers using just three ingredients: crispy rice rollers, cookies & creme white chocolate bar and rainbow Nerds. The recipe is super easy and I’m sharing it below!

I gave my kids this tray of Inside Out Rice Roller snacks with the expectation that they would bring the tray back with a few snacks leftover. Well, they were just too good to have any leftovers, so my kids brought me back an EMPTY tray. I guess they loved them!

My family likes to have Saturday Movie Nights so we can watch a family movie together and maybe play a game afterward. Of course our german shepherd, Arya, likes to be part of movie night too – she can tell when we’re getting ready to watch a movie and she finds her favorite spot on the couch so she can nap while we watch it.

Here’s the recipe for my Inside Out Rice Rollers movie snack. I found the crispy rice rollers near the popcorn at my grocery store.

Inside Out Crispy Rice Rollers Movie Snack

Such an easy movie night snack to make with only three ingredients!

Ingredients

Crispy Rice Rollers (find them near the popcorn aisle)
Cookies & Creme White Chocolate Bars (or just white chocolate bars)
Rainbow Nerds Candy

Instructions

Melt the cookies & creme white chocolate bars in a double broiler on the stove.
Dip the crispy rice rollers in the melted white chocolate, covering about half of the roller
Roll the roller in rainbow nerds candy until covered
Set roller on waxed paper to cool off for at least one hour

Back to school means back to homework! My kids both love to play First In Math games, so they login on a regular basis to play. We setup a new homework station for my kids who are entering 4th and 5th grades. It’s a large table that we divided down the middle using red duct tape to clearly define each child’s side. All of their school supplies are within easy reach and organized in storage drawers. We are hopeful that this new homework area makes it easier for my kids to concentrate, gives them more space to spread out their books and papers, and keeps their homework off the dinner table! It’s important to have a lightning fast internet connection because every year the kids are completing more of their homework online.

I had the pleasure of visiting an Xfinity Store in Houston recently, and learned about their wide variety of high tech services and how they are transforming the customer experience. One of the coolest things I got to try was the voice-activated remote for X1 by XFINITY. I have a strong dislike for the awkward keyboards that appear on our television screen, so the voice-activated remote is at the top of my wish list! It’s so easy and fast to use, even for the littlest members of your family!

🍹Gold Peak Sweet Tea Sangria Mocktail Recipe

Pin It

I’ve got a fabulous Sangria Mocktail recipe to share with you that’s made with Gold Peak Sweet Tea that’s available at Baker’s and Fry’s (or any of the Kroger family of stores) in a convenient 64 oz. size at an every day low price. It’s perfect to pair with chicken marinated in Soy Vay® Veri Veri Teriyaki® marinade.

The secret to making a delicious Sangri Mocktail is to infuse it with fruit! Gold Peak Tea is ready-to-drink iced tea made with high quality ingredients. I infused my Gold Peak Sweet Tea with raspberries and peaches to give it an amazing flavor. This was my first time using Soy Vay® Veri Veri Teriyaki®, a certified kosher teriyaki marinade, and I was thrilled with the flavor it added to our chicken. I marinated the chicken overnight. The results were a very flavorful teriyaki chicken that I topped with grilled pineapple. I added Soy Vay® Garlic Fried Brown Rice to my teriyaki chicken to complete the meal.

Be creative and experiment with different fruits. You only need to infuse your drink for at least one hour to get a good flavor from the fruits. There’s also a new Gold Peak Tea Harvest Pear available for a limited time that would be delicious in this recipe. I wanted to try it, but unfortunately my Kroger doesn’t carry that flavor yet. Here’s my recipe for you to try:

Which grilling favorites will you enjoy?
