Kids in the Kitchen: Thor Hammer Snacks

My kids have only seen animated versions of MARVEL movies, but they really enjoy them.  I’ve seen a version of these cute little Thor Hammer Snacks floating around the internet so Colin and I finally decided to give them a go.

You’ll Need: 

• RITZ® Crackers
• Pretzel Sticks
• Cheese Slices (any flavor – we had Mozzarella)
• Grapes
• Knife
• Small lightning bolt template (I printed mine from Word)

Directions:

1. Wash and dry the grapes.
2. Using a paring knife and the template, cut the cheese into lightning shapes.
3. Pop one grape onto the end of a pretzel stick.
4. Lay one RITZ® cracker down, add the lightning shaped cheese and then the grape & pretzel hammer.
5. Serve and enjoy!

The hardest part is cutting the cheese (haha, you know what I meant!).  I did that part while Colin made the pretzel-grape hammers.  He stacked everything together to complete the Thor Hammer Snacks.

He even shared with James and they enjoyed munching on them.  They are the entire plate of hammers and asked for more.  (Of course, I was ‘mean’ and told them no so they’d actually eat dinner!)

Who would you make Thor Hammer Snacks with?
