12-15 crackers
¼ cup cream cheese
Handful cherry tomatoes
Handful black olives
5-10 sprigs of chive
1 Tbsp. balsamic glaze

Directions:

Remove the cream cheese from the fridge to soften for about 10 minutes. This will make it much easier to spread.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half the long way until they are all cut in half. Set aside to use later.
Slice the black olives in half the short way until they are all cut in half. Set these aside too.
Slice the chives in about 1 inch strips, these will be the little antenas. Set aside.
Spread an even layer of cream cheese on top of your favorite cracker. You can spread as much as you’d like. If you or your little ones aren’t a fan of cream cheese, try using hummus!
Place two halved tomatoes on top of the cracker to create the wings. Use the video as a reference while assembling these crackers.
Place a halved olive on top of the cracker right above where the two wings meet.
Place two small sprigs of chives coming out of the olive.
Pour the balsamic glaze in a small dish then use a toothpick to dip in the balsamic glaze then onto the tomatoes to create small polka dots all over.

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
