How to Make a Peppermint Orange Suprise

This simple orange treat will delight both youngsters and adults alike! Great for backyard bar bqs, camping trips, school functions, just about anywhere.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Ripe oranges (1 per person)
• Peppermint sticks (1 per orange)

1. When it's time for something refreshing and sweet give each person an orange. Have them roll it on a table, squeeze it in their hands, bonk it on their knee... be creative just don't break it open.
   The purpose here is to create juice inside the orange and have lots of fun doing it.
2. When the orange is nice and mushy, have an adult make a round hole in the orange peel just large enough for the end of the peppermint stick.
3. Have the youngster poke their peppermint stick into the orange until it's at least 1/2 way thru the orange. Then use the peppermint stick like a straw to drink the orange juice. It's refreshing and oh so yummy
