Edible Mars Rock

Curiosity landing on Mars has caused lots of conversation in our house, from 'Can we go there too?', to 'Is it like going on the bus, is it a long way away?'

The Papa is very into science so was pleased the Fairy was taking an interested in something scientific. The pictures of Mars reminded me a bit of honeycomb we used to make and eat as kids (I know they are not identical but it doesn't take much to remind me of food!)

So we decided to make some. As this recipe requires lots of heat this is more of a recipe for making for kids rather than with kids (children and boiling hot sugar = bad combination). I used this recipe. Having said this recipe is suitable for kids you may not want to make it if you don't like your children having lots of sugar (but I like it and figure treats are OK in moderation!)




the finished result
