[For Seniors] Snack Recipes We Want to Make in the October Recreation Activity

Chestnut ohagi (sweet rice cakes with chestnuts)

Easy Sweet Chestnut Ohagi with Rice: Chestnut Ohagi [Easy] [Chestnut] [Ohagi]

Here’s a recipe for super-cute “Chestnut Ohagi”! Put cooked rice, sugar, and salt in a bowl, mix well, and mash until it becomes slightly sticky.

Once ready, divide the mixture into five portions in the bowl.

Place some rice on plastic wrap, put a candied chestnut on top, and use the wrap to shape and wrap it.

Make five of these.

Roll each rice ball in kinako (roasted soybean flour) to coat it all over, then cover the top half with smooth red bean paste and shape it like a chestnut.

Using plastic wrap here also makes it easier.

The kinako is optional, so you can leave the rice plain if you prefer.

Finally, use sesame seeds to make the chestnut’s eyes, and you’re done! Since this recipe requires no heat or knives, it should be safe and comfortable for older adults to make as well.

Eyeball candy

[Halloween] How to Make Super Easy Eyeball Sweets [momo’s Kitchen]

While it’s great to go all out with homemade sweets for a Halloween party, if you’re short on time or not confident in the kitchen, why not just combine store-bought items? Let’s make some spooky eyeball treats that capture the Halloween vibe! Simply coat store-bought donuts with chocolate melted in a double boiler, then use a chocolate pen to decorate them as eyeballs.

If you stick forks or picks into the donuts ahead of time, it not only enhances the creepy effect but also makes them easier to eat—highly recommended.

These slightly spooky eyeball milk jellies are perfect for Halloween.

You color them with shaved ice syrup, so they’re easy for anyone to make—that’s part of the charm! Make two types of gelatin mixture: one for the pupil and one for the white of the eye.

Pour a little of the pupil mixture into the molds and chill.

Next, pour the gelatin mixture colored with shaved ice syrup over the pupil and chill again.

Finally, dissolve gelatin and sugar in boiling water, add milk to make the white-of-the-eye gelatin, pour it into the molds, and chill until set—that’s it! It may take a bit of effort, but the surprising appearance will also provide good stimulation for seniors.

Exquisite Apple Cake

Ready in 5 minutes! Super easy in the microwave! A delicious apple cake with just 4 ingredients! Apple cake

Let me share a simple cake recipe using apples, a delicious taste of autumn.

First, let’s make the batter.

All you do is mix eggs, pancake mix, and milk together in that order until smooth—super easy, right? Next, peel the apples and slice them thinly, about 2–3 mm.

Transfer the slices to a heatproof dish, pour the batter you just made over them, and spread it so it coats everything evenly.

Once the batter has soaked into the apples a bit and the surface looks level, you’re good to go.

Finally, microwave at 600W for 5 minutes, and it’s done! It can crumble easily if you cut it while it’s hot, so be sure to chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator before serving.
