    Simba's Paw Print Cookies
    Ingredients:
    Batch of baked sugar cookies
    Powdered sugar
    Caramel candy cubes
    Small heart-shaped cookie or fondant cutter, about 1 1/4-inch wide
    Small oval cookie or fondant cutter, about 3/4-inch wide
    Directions:
    1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cover cutting board with waxed paper. Sprinkle a powdered sugar on the paper, and place a caramel candy on it.
    3. Use a rolling pin to flatten the caramel. If the candy is too hard, soften it a bit before by holding it between your fingertips for a minute. If it's too sticky, dust the caramel and the rolling pin with powdered sugar.
    4. Cut out a small heart and four small ovals from the rolled caramel, and arrange them on a cookie like the pads of a lion's paw print. Repeat for each cookie.
    5. Place cookies in oven for 2 minutes so the caramel sticks to the cookie. less

      Childhood Favorites from the Shine Supper Club

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
