Edible Pioneer Wagon
by Lael Feller


From the July 1998 Friend

To make this treat, you will need: 2 marshmallows, a brownie or flat cookie, a fig cookie cut in half, icing (to use as glue), round candies or small cookies, 2 dried apricots, black licorice sticks, and animal crackers.  Look at the picture, then create your own pioneer wagon.

Some additional ideas from myself:  You could create this wagon on a paper plate so that you could use the icing to make the animals stand up straight like in the picture.  Also, it is hard to see the fig newtons in the picture above...they are below the wheels, but they really aren't needed.  You could also use a granola bar instead of a brownie

MORE IDEAS from Charlene Moore (ga07182006): 

I'm doing the edible wagon but I'm making it a bit differently.  I'm using Vanilla Dreamers. They are a Kroger brand cookie (kind of like Nutter Butter), marshmallows, white icing, chocolate icing, Honey Comb cereal, and pretzel sticks.

I put some white icing on a cookie, then I criss-crossed the pretzel sticks for the axle. Then I glued two marshmallows together with the white icing and glued them on top of the pretzels. Then I glued on the Honey Comb cereal with the icing. I thought they looked more like wagon wheels. Then instead of using the apricots, I used chocolate frosting.
