Does anyone have any simple and easy Christmas recipes for candy or snack that a 2 yr old can help with? My son is 2 and loves to help me do things. Thanks!

How about those thumbprint cookies, the ones with the Hersheys Kiss in it?  Of course it couldn't be a peanut butter cookie at his age, but there are some basic cookie recipes out there that you could substitute (check allrecipes.com or foodnetwork.com).  Then let him put the Kiss on the cookies.

My granddaughters are now 4 and 6, but they've always helped with any cookie that gets covered w/ sugar.  We just put the sugar in a zip-loc baggie, and they shake away!!!!

My grand daughters like to make "Christmas Smores."  We take graham cracker squares and spread them with marshmallow cream.  Leave about an 1/8 of an inch of the cracker uncovered at the edges.  Put another graham cracker on top and refrigerate until the marshmallow cream is hard.  Dip the graham crackers in melted chocolate almond bark and allow the chocolate to set.  Don't let the chocolate get too hot or it will melt the marshmallow cream and will leak through the chocolate.  All the family loves these but the kids LOVE making them!  Merry Christmas!
