Autumn Food Crafts for Kids : Sweetworks Autumn Trifle

Autumn Treats that Kids can Make!

Crunch, Crunch, Chrunch. It’s time for autumn and you know what that means. Now is the season for fall cider mills, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and tailgating with friends. Fun times can be had with the kids (or you) making a special treat, so when SweetWorks sent me a selection of their autumn decorative candies, I knew that it was time to make some food crafts for kids!

The kids and grandkids will love making this one. Only the smallest children will need your guidance and the bigger kids can have at it and create these gorgeous Autumn Trifles in a matter of minutes. This would be a great kids food craft for school, church groups, scouts or for just some at home fun.

Just so you know, a trifle is an English dessert dish. It is usually made from thick (or often solidified) custard, diced fruit interwoven with sponge fingers or more delicate sponge cake thin layer (soaked in sherry or other fortified wine which name precedes the word ‘trifle’ when describing it) and/or fruit juice/syrup (fruit trifle) and almost always topped with whipped cream. In this case, being a food craft for kids, I obviously did not include any alcohol (but you could for an adult version).

I created 3 Autumn Trifle versions from the recipe below.

Ingredients

Cake-like layering ingredients like brownies, snowballs, soft cookies. Homemade or store bought
Sweetworks Candies (sixlets and pearls in autumn colors) or frosting or ice cream to go between cake layers. It's fun to have an assortment for a variety of trifles.

Your imagination is your limit with this recipe.
