Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 pieces Graham Crackers Buy sturdy, square crackers.
- 1 container Aqua Blue Frosting Choose a thick piping-style frosting.
- 2 pieces Airheads Extremes Slice into thin strips.
- 8 pieces Teddy Grahams Use sturdy ones for best visual.
Decorative Items
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Optional, for an extra sand flavor.
- 1/4 cup Yellow M&M’s For decoration.
- 1/4 cup Yellow Jimmies For decoration.
- 1/4 cup Blue Sanding Sugar For decoration.
- 2 pieces Parasol Picks For decoration.
Instructions
Preparation
- Lay one graham cracker flat and spread a smooth layer of aqua blue frosting across it, leaving a small unfrosted margin at the top.
- Put the second graham cracker in a resealable bag and crush it with your hands or a rolling pin until it resembles fine sand; mix in a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
- Sprinkle the crushed crumbs over the frosted cracker to create a sandy area; press gently so the crumbs stick.
- Slice the Airheads into thin strips to act as beach towels and place them on the sandy area, using a small dab of frosting on the back to adhere them.
- Use frosting to stick Teddy Grahams onto the towel strips, then sprinkle blue sanding sugar over the water area and dot the sand with yellow M&M’s or yellow jimmies.
- Insert a parasol pick into a corner of the cracker for decoration and serve immediately.
Notes
Work on a tray to catch stray crumbs. Use a thin spatula for frosting to get an even surface. Store assembled crackers in an airtight container for up to 6 hours in the fridge.
