Bake at 350 degrees until brown and bubbly. The following baby shower appetizers and ideas were submitted by one of our readers, Andrea: Rice Krispy Treat Rattles: Make the usual recipe on box, but when melting the marshmallows and butter, add 2 tablespoons of white corn syrup (this makes the treats stay more pliable when forming them). After the treats are made, form a tennis ball sized ball, and a golf ball sized ball, put on waxed paper. When you have formed all the balls, stick a long candy sucker stick through one end of the large ball and one end in the smaller ball. To finish off, I use one of the pre-made bows that you can adjust to size on things for the middle, or you can simply tie some ribbon around the middle. Themed Cheeses: (these make the cutest baby shower appetizers!) I use miniature-sized cookie cutters in the theme of the shower (teddy bears, bottles, rattles, etc.) to cut out different cheeses. Simply slice the cheese no thicker than the cutter, and press cutter down, instant cuteness! Arrange on a platter for added elegance. Watermelon Carriage: Make a cut on your watermelon from the middle of the top, down to the middle of the watermelon, then stop. Make second cut from the middle of the side of melon, to the middle of the melon, remove this piece. Hollow out watermelon carefully as you'll want to be able to still serve the pieces. Fill the watermelon with the in-season fruits. Add wheels to your carriage with slices of oranges and pins that have the pearl on the end, such as you use for pinning on corsages. For the expert carvers, before adding the fruit, you can take a small knife and carve scallops to the edges of your carriage. Add a ribbon bow on top for the final touch and you have a very cute centerpiece!
