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

Baked churros

[No-Fry, Easy] How to Make Churros Without Frying Using Pancake Mix

Let’s try making theme park–favorite churros as a snack activity at a senior care facility! This recipe doesn’t require deep-frying, which lowers the hurdle for preparation.

Put milk and oil in a pot and heat over medium.

Once it comes to a boil, turn off the heat and add pancake mix, stirring to combine.

Be careful not to burn yourself.

Beat eggs in a bowl, then add them to the dough you just made in two additions.

At first the dough won’t come together easily, but if you use a spatula to cut through it finely and then repeatedly press the dough against the bowl and fold it over, it will come together more smoothly.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe onto parchment paper, and bake in the oven.

The toasty aroma makes this a mouthwatering treat!

Persimmon Pudding

Simple and delicious! Persimmon pudding made with just 3 ingredients #shorts

This works even with a big crowd! Please try this very easy recipe for “Persimmon Pudding.” First, cut off the persimmon’s stem and scoop out the flesh to make a persimmon cup.

Put the scooped-out flesh into a blender, add milk and sugar, and blend until smooth.

Then pour it back into the persimmon cups, chill in the refrigerator until set, and it’s ready! Super easy, right? It’s also great that you only need three ingredients.

While it chills, pass the time chatting or doing some sewing, and then enjoy a lovely snack time afterward.

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.

Eyeball Milk Jelly

How to Make Milk Jelly Eyes with Gelatin | Halloween Treat using Shaved Ice Syrup – KITCHEN TANAKA (Sister’s Recipe)

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.
