Bunny Bark

July 17, 2016 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 21 Comments

Here’s my thing: Saturday mornings are for being lazy, slow starts and easy everything. That’s our routine.  I don’t want complicated breakfasts, no crazy morning rushes and we stay in pajamas until we need to leave the house.

It’s also one of the reasons it’s my boys favorite morning of the week. We have breakfast unhurried and together—sometimes at the table, sometimes not. Sometimes eating on the sofa watching their favorite cartoon and, most recently, eating our new favorite cereal from Annie’s.

There is just something about cereal and Saturday mornings that go hand-in-hand. I think it’s the nostalgic feeling it evokes for both Matt and me. And now as parents, we are always trying to create those special memories for our own kids. The bunny bark is one of them. The boys always have a hand in making it. Once it’s set and we break it up, it’s a free all—we stand around the kitchen counter with a glass of milk and enjoy it until we can’t eat anymore.

We are big fans of Annie’s Organic Cereal and I can feel good about feeding my family a fun breakfast that’s delicious and made without artificial flavors, synthetic colors, preservatives and artificial sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup. In fact, all of their cereals contain whole grain oats as the first ingredient. These are alsothe reasons why I don’t mind it when my boys eat this cereal by the handfuls or in my fun new recipe for Bunny Bark.

Bunny Bark is a fun snack I love making with kids because it’s so easy—just a few ingredients, minimal work and the payoff is huge! The boys go crazy for it. Of course they love the chocolate, but the other part is the little bunny shapes that are so fun for them to play with. I tried to convince the kids to do a bark with Annie’s Organic Frosted Oat Flakes too, but apparently when the time to came to do so, someone had eaten the majority of the box . . .. ahem Matt.

Annie’s has three Organic Cereal varieties and each of my boys have a favorite: Cole, my fruitarian, loves the Berry Bunnies. He especially loves the strawberries, so he will cherry pick his way through the box sometimes just to get and handful of the naturally flavored pink ones. It’s works though, because I will happily snack on the blueberry ones. Of course there’s my dessert loving toddler, Connor, who would happily eat the Cocoa Bunnies for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let him. And if he could reach the caramel, I’m sure he would drizzle it over his cocoa bunnies as a topping. As for Matt and me, we reach for the Frosted Oat Flakes it has all the flavor from one the classic cereals we loved as kids but we can feel good about it because Annie’s is made with 23g whole grain. Yay, to tasty cereal that’s made with better!

    This bark is such a creative idea Naomi! So cute and fun and colorful. I’d definitely love for my Saturday morning to start out with this. Knowing me and how much I love both cereal and chocolate, I’d try to save the whole batch for myself… And somehow eat it all in one Saturday. Oops! I saw both the Annie’s fruity and chocolate bunny cereals at my Safeway just this past weekend, and I was SO tempted to put a box of each in my cart. I absolutely love Annie’s products (their snickerdoodle bunny cookies are my weakness!), so I definitely should go back to the cereal aisle on my next grocery trip!

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton.
