Faux Fish Sticks

What's for dinner this April Fools' Day? Cookie fish sticks and tart taffy peas.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
	Cornflakes
	Sugar wafer cookies
	Peanut butter
	Green taffy candy (we used green apple AirHeads)
	Seedless strawberry jam

1. For the fish sticks, place a couple of handfuls of cornflakes in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Cover 2 sugar wafer cookies with peanut butter, then toss them in the cornflake crumbs to coat.

2. For the peas, tear off and roll small pieces of the taffy candy into balls. If the taffy is too stiff to work with, microwave it for about 6 seconds.

3. For the ketchup, use a fork to stir a few teaspoons of the jam until it's smooth.
