Christopher Robin Friendsgiving Recipes

Good food and good friends go hand in hand, at least that is what I think Winnie The Pooh would say. To celebrate the release of Christopher Robin to Blu-ray and digital on Nov. 6, here are a couple of friendsgiving recipes to try out with your friends!

Grilled Fruit Kebabs with Honey Lime Yogurt Dip

Ingredients:

lbs. assorted fruit (strawberries, pineapple, mango, kiwi, peach, nectarine, plum)
8 metal or bamboo skewers
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tbs. honey
1 tsp. grated lime zest

Instructions for skewers:

Heat grill to medium-high, making sure grate is clean
Thread chunks of washed, peeled or seeded fruit onto skewers. (If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for 10 minutes to minimize chances of burning)
Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully so fruit does not fall off of skewers
Remove from heat and serve with dip

Instructions for Dip:

Combine yogurt, honey and lime zest and stir until well blended.
Keep chilled until serving time
Note: The best fruits are ones with firm flesh such as stone fruits or pineapple. Stay away from melons as they tend to soften too much

Peanut Butter Crispy Rice Treats

Ingredients

3 cups Rice Krispies or crispy rice cereal
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ tsp vanilla extract
3 cups mini marshmallows

Directions

Line an 8×8 baking pan with wax paper, spray wax paper with cooking spray and set aside.
Combine peanut butter and vanilla in a medium sauce sprayed with olive oil spray. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring to prevent burning.
Add marshmallows, continuing to stir until marshmallows melt and blend with peanut butter.
In a large mixing bowl pour peanut butter/marshmallow mixture over Rice Krispies and stir until completely coated.
Press cereal mixture into a lined 8×8 pan and cool in refrigerator 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
