Most of the recipes I have made for you are Asian inspired dishes or traditional Asian dishes, but today I want to dive into the creative and colorful food of America. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Belly Button snack has become a favourite around the children in my family, so we wrap them up as gifts whenever we plan on visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This quick and simple recipe can be made by your kids too! There is nothing tricky involved, and the most dangerous part will be putting the belly buttons in the oven. Help get your kids into the kitchen with this fun recipe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A quick glance at the ingredients list will tell you that nothing in this recipe is homemade, apart from the assembly of the belly buttons. If you want something a little more challenging, scroll down to my bonus recipe which teaches you how to make your own pretzels! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your children might need an extra hand making these hard bready treats, and they can be difficult to get small enough to fit in with the Belly Button design, so you might want your kids to join in during the assembly stage only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wasn\u2019t that easy! Once these Belly Buttons have cooled you can wrap them up and put them into little bags to give to kids after a birthday party, or you can pass them to the family to snack on as a treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If this recipe seems too easy, then check out this pretzel recipe I\u2019ve made. You can adapt the flavor to add your own spin on the Belly Button snack or to simply serve them as a pretzel on their own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve put together the ingredient list to make between 20 and 25 small pretzels, perfect for the Belly Button recipe. If you\u2019re new to making pretzels, you might want to make more than 25, just in case the pretzels burn or come out soggy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make the pretzel shape, you will need to take one end of the rope and bring it to the center. Then take the other end of the rope and cross it over the first one, making sure to also lay the end in the center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lastly, you need to press these ends into the middle of the dough to seal in the shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you like your pretzels soft, you can cook them for 30 minutes instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make the Belly Button snacks, you will need the pretzels to be completely cool, so they have hardened and settled into their shape before you reheat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to make these pretzels without adding them to the Belly Button recipe, you can play around with the sprinkles you put on top. If you want something sweet, try brown sugar. My personal favorite is using cinnamon sugar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cinnamon sugar on a pretzel just screams Fall to me, making these the perfect homemade snack for Halloween.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, let me know what other suggestions you have to make these pretzels and belly button snacks great for the other amazing American holidays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
