Be sure to enter my giveaway for 2 boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks and a $25 donation to One Laptop Per Child in your name while you're here.
Technology has become a integral part of my kids' education. We often use websites recommended by their teachers to help reinforce the skills and ideas they are learning at school. I'm thankful that we have the technological resources to allow my kids to get the most from their education but not every child has those opportunities. One Laptop Per Child is an organization whose goal is to "To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning."
With specially marked boxes of kid favorites - including Fruit Roll-Ups, Gushers, Fruit by the Foot, and Stickerz & Shapes - your child could win one laptop to keep and Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks will donate another to a child in Africa. Each day between now and May 30,2010, one laptop will be awarded to a U.S. winner. And for every laptop won, one will be donated to a child in Africa through One Laptop Per Child. For your chance to win, just enter a code from a specially marked box of Betty Crocker fruit snacks at WinOneGiveOne.
Watch this video to see how this program is helping children in Africa.
Win It!

One of the easiest ways I have found to support my kids' schools is by clipping Box Tops and sending them in. I have been furiously clipping those little things off of packaging for almost five years now. It's hard to believe that the simple act of clipping Box Top coupons has raised over $300 million dollars for schools. Now you can earn even more money for the school of your choice because from now until March 18, the Kroger Family of Stores is giving you the chance to get even more Bonus Box Tops.
All you need to do is register at RewardYourSchool and select the offers you'd like to receive. When you register you will automatically receive 5 Bonus Box Tops just for signing up. Then select the offers for Bonus Box Tops on participating General Mills products you would like and load them to your Kroger Shopper Card to be redeemed when you purchase those items. There's no clipping involved! The bonus box tops will automatically go straight to your chosen school. Just make sure to use your shopper card when making your purchase.
Offer details provided by General Mills:
Get 3,4, or 5 Bonus Box Tops when you buy the corresponding amount of participating General Mills Cereals
-Participating cereals include Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs, , Cookie Crisp Sprinkles, Trix, Reese’s Puffs, Cookie Crisp, Golden Grahams, Kix, Fruity Cheerios, Dora the Explorer, Honey Kix, and all varieties of Cascadian Farm
Get 3, 4, or 5 Bonus Box Tops when you buy the corresponding amount of participating Yoplait Kid products
-Participating products include Yoplait Kids Yogurt Drink, Yoplait Go-GURT, Yoplait Kids Lowfat Yogurt, and Yoplait Trix Lowfat Yogurt
Get 3, 4, or 5 Bonus Box Tops when you buy the corresponding amount of participating Pillsbury products
-Participating products include 8 ct. packages of all varieties of Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits, Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls, Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls, Pillsbury Flaky Twists, and Pillsbury Sweet Rolls
Win It!

Have you spotted Chocolate Cheerios on the grocery store shelves yet? Given my obsession with love of chocolate, it's no surprise that I was excited about giving these a try. I must say I was not disappointed. They were crunchy and chocolatey without being too sugary tasting. I enjoyed them as a treat in the morning as well as an afternoon snack. My kids really loved them too.
As much as we loved eating them in a bowl with milk, I also think using them in this recipe would be a fun treat for Valentine's Day.
Chocolate Cheerios® Marshmallow Hearts
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Start to Finish: 1 Hour 45 Minutes
Crust
1 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1 cup Chocolate Cheerios® cereal, crushed
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups miniature marshmallows
Topping
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 bag (11.5 ounces) milk chocolate chips
4 cups Chocolate Cheerios® cereal
Candy sprinkles, if desired
Heat oven to 350°F. Line bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with foil. In large bowl, mix all crust ingredients except marshmallows with electric mixer on low speed until crumbly. Press firmly into bottom of pan.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle with marshmallows. Return to oven; bake an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until marshmallows just begin to puff. Cool while preparing topping.
In large saucepan, place all topping ingredients except cereal and sprinkles. Heat over medium-low heat just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in 4 cups cereal. Immediately spoon warm topping over marshmallows; spread to cover. Sprinkle with candy sprinkles. Cool completely, at least 1 hour.
Using foil to lift, remove mixture from pan; remove foil. With deep 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 18 hearts. Store loosely covered.
