If you have been following along at all here at Bake No Prisoners, you know that I am obsessed with all things Harry Potter, so I thought it would be only fitting that we have a countdown to Harry Potter’s (and J.K. Rowling’s) birthday on July 31st. Being the major Potterhead that I am, I will be posting my favorite Potter treats each day, for the next 10 days, leading up to a massive birthday cake on the 31st.
I will also be posting some of my favorite quotes and clips from all 8 books/movies, starting with the first movie, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone, when Harry meets Ron and Hermione for the first time.
I love the part when the trolly pulls up and Harry buys “the lot” to make Ron feel better about his soggy lunch. So in honor of the trolly scene, I decided to make a few of the trolly treats that Harry and Ron enjoy in the film!
If you watch the clip carefully, you can see the Acid Pops on the trolly in the background. These are nothing but round lollipops dipped in warm honey and then rolled in Pop Rocks.
The licorice wands above are Milk Chocolate Twizzlers dipped in melted white chocolate candies and then rolled in gold and silver sprinkles.
These licorice wands made a fun and exciting activity for the 2 AWESOME muggle kids I watch over the summer!
As it turns out, HP treats are just as tasty as muggle treats!
We also found neon Twizzlers (I love NEON!) and tried different sprinkles to give the wands some variety just like in Ollivander’s Wand Shop!
And finally, to make our chocolate frogs a bit more brillant, we used the leftover melted white chocolate candies in the frog mold, added peppermint flavoring, and then sprinkled them with hot pink sugar crystals.
Enjoy!!
“Now if you two don’t mind, I’m going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed – or worse, expelled.” ~Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
Looks like fun! Tell those cute muggle kids hello for us!
We had a blast!! Maybe you could join us next time!
