"Hoppy" Easter Treats

FLUSHING, Mich - We have a delicious line up of "Hoppy" Easter Treats for you to try this year! Each of these recipes require a minimal amount of ingredients and can all be made with the help of kids. These are so easy, we hardly needed to use the recipe and glanced at the photos to create these yummy snacks! Also, we kept in mind that Spring is here and it is time to take advantage of the beautiful weather. All of our treat suggestions are time savers and won't leave you in the kitchen for hours. The other great news? These recipes require similar ingredients, so your trip to the market will be a piece of cake!

Rice Krispie Treats are one of the most hassle-free desserts ever! You can cut them into small squares or get festive by cutting them into egg shapes with a cookie cutter. Melt chocolate over the stove, then stir in the oil until it is smooth. Dip the treats into the chocolate, lay on parchment paper and then add sprinkles or small candies. Leave the treats on the parchment paper until they have completely hardened!

6 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal

10oz mini marshmallows

1/4 cup of butter (1/2 stick)

1 bag of chocolate candy melts

1 container of sprinkles

Egg-shaped cookie cutter (optional)
 Parchment paper

If you love the combination of salty and sweet, you will adore these Chocolate Egg Nests! Melt the chocolate over the stove,  remove from the heat, then gently add the pretzel sticks. Stir carefully until they are completely coated. Form the pretzels into "nests" and refrigerate for one hour. Use the extra chocolate as a "glue" and top with M&M's Speckled Eggs or any other candy of your choice!

Ingredients: 11-ounce bag of Milk Chocolate Morsels

2-3 cups of pretzel sticks (broken in half)

M&M's Speckled Eggs (or candy of your choice)
Parchment Paper

This will attract more than the Easter Bunny! Bunny Bait is an addictive mixture of salty and sweet that you can set out as a snack or put into small bags as a parting gift. Spread the pretzels, popcorn and Chex cereal on a foil or parchment paper covered baking sheet. Coat the mix with white chocolate and stir to be sure it is covered evenly. Add the sprinkles and allow it to harden on the cookie sheet. Break the bait apart into bowls or bags, add the M&M's and Ta-dah! 

Ingredients: 2 cups pretzels

1 bag popped white popcorn

1 package white melting chocolate

1 bag of festive M&M's 

2 cups of Chex cereal

1 container of colored sprinkles
Parchment Paper
Cookie Sheets

 Marshmallow Peeps are an Easter classic! Add a fun little twist by dipping them into chocolate and adding sprinkles or colored sugars. Use up the left over chocolate and sprinkles from your Bunny Bait to make this super easy treat!

1-2 packages of Peeps

1 container of sprinkles, colored sugar, etc.

Ford Driving Skills for Life Makes Second Decade Updates

FLUSHING, Mich - Ford Driving Skills for Life Makes Second Decade Updates by addressing the latest dangerous trends in teen driving. Although "hands on the wheel, eyes on the road" still remains the signature motto, Ford Driving Skills for Life is focusing on teaching new and teen drivers lessons that they will not learn in a typical driver's ed class.

The biggest challenge is keeping the driver's safety content engaging, which is why Ford tries to keep the curriculum as updated and relevant as possible. Amongst the many technology and content updates is one of the latest driving trends that is impacting safety out on the road. If you aren't familiar with the term "driving selfie", it is when a driver is taking a self-portrait when behind the wheel. Oddly enough, this trend has grown into something that is affecting new/teen drivers. Ford has now added a segment into the program that simulates the distractions created when taking a selfie on one of their closed courses. 

Impaired driving is another issue that needs to be addressed and Ford has a modern approach to give new/teen drivers a valuable lesson. A drunk driving suit is now used that replicates the physical challenges one faces when under the influence of alcohol. The suit has added weight to the arms and legs, causing the teen to feel unbalanced and have slow reaction time. The new driver will experience the same physical impairments as a driver would under the influence.

Ford Driving Skills for Life Makes Second Decade Updates after many years of success beginning in 2003. The program is now operating in more than 15 countries and continues to seek growth around the world. New technology and video elements will be used to help teen drivers around the globe make the safest choices while on the road. Check out the program's updates at www.drivingskillsforlife.com. 

If you are in need for a safe vehicle for yourself or your new driver, stop by Delehanty Ford. We have a great variety of Ford cars, trucks, SUVs and crossovers all at an outstanding price!
