5.0 out of 5 stars Gross to View, Delicious to Eat!, February 29, 2004

This book is exactly how it sounds - lots of sweet dessert recipes for kids with two caveats: they look and sound gross.
What ten-year-old could resist a treat that looks like and is called "Used Bandages"! Ingredients include graham crackers, strawberry fruit roll-ups, large marshmallows, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar.
Baby's Dirty Diapers will gross out even the most hardened of children most likely to become the next Bugsy Malone: caramel squares and marshmallows. The subtext for this enticing recipe says, "Quick and easy, you can push these little stinkers out in no time!"
Some of the delicacies included are Diarrhea Delights, Earwax on a Swab, Crusty Booger Balls, Congealed Cat Guts, Bessie's Homemade Cow Pie, Dead Rat Cupcakes, Blood Clot Cake, Chocolate Armpit Hairs, Bloody Nose Soup, Dead Roach Torte Surprise, and many more.
The book is written for a middle elementary school age child. The beginning tells rules for working in the kitchen, glossary of baking terms, and measuring tips. The recipes are actually quite easy to follow.
Although this book was written for children, some of the treats might also be great for a Halloween party for adults. But be forewarned : they're gross!

We prepared one of the recipes in this book for a fun kids' activity at our church. There were kids ranging from 5th graders to Kindergartners. All the kids could take part, and all had a blast, even when the outcome wasn't something they would actually eat!
