Amelia Frump first came to us as a peanut butter loving, imaginative little girl who we came to know through her Halloween adventures in Amelia Frump & Her Peanut Butter Loving, Over Active Imagination, and then Amelia Frump shared her favorite recipes in Amelia Frump & Her Peanut Butter Loving, Over Active Imagination is Cooking Up A Peanut Butter Storm!

Author Debbie Roppolo is behind the imaginative stories, as well as the imaginative recipes, such as, Grubby Sock Casserole;The Jelly is Runny, The Banana is Slimy Banana Bread; There’s S’more to this Cookie; Polka Dot Brownies and many more, but each delicious recipe has peanuts or peanut butter! The cookbook also has puzzles, safety tips, and information about peanuts and peanut butter that will keep your child busy for hours and offering to lend a hand in the kitchen! And does anyone know what a plucky part is?

Just for fun, here’s a recipe that your child will love to help make!

1. Measure the cereals into a very large bowl and set aside.

2. Microwave the chocolate, peanut butter, and margarine in a 1 qt. bowl uncovered and on high for 1 minute.Stir, and microwave an addition 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth when stirred.

3. Ask an adult for help with this step. Pour the mixture over the cereal, and stir it is evenly coated.

4. Put the cereal into a 2 gallon food storage bag. Pour in the powdered sugar, seal, and shake the bag until all pieces are coated.

5. Spread the mixture on waxed paper and allow to dry.

6. Put the coated cereal into another large bowl. Add the Reese’s, M&M’s, and peanuts. Mix gently with your hands until everything is combined. Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

For her efforts, Debbie was recently awarded The Purple Dragonfly Book Award for Excellence In Children’s Literature.
