<\/a><\/p>\nWhen my kids were little, it became tradition at my house to have \u201cfunny\u201d food for one of our April Fools Day meals. For many years I made \u201cFlannel\u201d pancakes. I don\u2019t know why but I fooled my family for probably 5 years in a row with my flannel pancakes. <\/p>\n
Now that my kids are grown with kids of their own we continue the tradition but have added additional pranks- my favorite being my delicious Aprils Fools Brownies. Actually they are BROWN- E\u2019s. <\/p>\n
Brown- E\u2019s<\/strong> <\/p>\n To make my delicious Brown-E\u2019s I put a bunch of brown capitol E\u2019s in my special brownie pan and cover it with foil. At the end of dinner I ask everyone if they still have room for a brown-E. This prank has been going on for about 3 years and I\u2019m afraid this year the older grandkids will remember this trick. Another fun way I\u2019ve fooled my grandkids, which all live with a 1\/2 mile of my house, is to put a \u201cFor Sale\u201d in my front yard. They didn\u2019t that was very funny and fortunately, neither did our good neighbors. <\/p>\n Frozen Breakfast<\/strong> <\/p>\n Put cereal and milk<\/strong> in a bowl and let it freeze overnight. You can freeze it with the spoon in it or not. The next morning right before breakfast, take the bowl out of the freezer and pour a little bit of fresh milk on top.When your hungry kids try to dig in, they\u2019ll find that their cereal won\u2019t budge. <\/p>\n Flannel Pancakes<\/b> <\/p>\n Non-drinkable Juice<\/b> <\/p>\n The night before make some jell-o in clear juice glasses. Use a flavor that matches the juice they drink \u2013 such as grape, orange etc. Fill the glass about \u00be full and after it starts to set, insert a drinking straw. Once it is set, it will look like a normal glass of juice with a straw in it. Simply set it at their place at the breakfast table. Provide spoons so they can eat the gelatin when they realize they can\u2019t drink it. <\/p>\n And here\u2019s one more fun idea. Take a few quarters and Gorilla glue them on the sidewalk or walkway leading up to your house. When the grandkids, or your guests, try to pick them up they\u2019re stuck. Warning- the glue will leave a dark spot on your concrete when you pry it off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our top 5 April fools tricks and treAts When my kids were little, it became tradition at my house to have \u201cfunny\u201d food for one of our April Fools Day meals.

<\/b>When cooking pancakes put a piece of white flannel, about 3\u201dx3\u201d, into each pancake and cook as usual. Flannel makes pancakes impossible to cut and eaters will become quite frustrated until they realize they\u2019ve been fooled. This is an easy trick to do when serving many people. Put one flannel pancake on a plate with two or three other pancakes. <\/p>\n
