Filling the muffin pan.
Ready to bake!
The MMs melted and made pretty rainbow colors.
Eating Taylers' Muffins Being Goofy
Tayler learned about muffins and how they got their name. The name 'Muffin' either comes from the French word 'moufflet' meaning a soft bread, or from the German word 'muffe' which is the name for a type of cake. There are two types of muffins cake and bread like.
She also learned quite a bit about measurements as well. We got our recipes and info from the site below.http://www.joyofbaking.com/muffins/muffinrecipes.html
Joshuas' Sprinkle Pancakes
Brendens' MM Pancakes
Taylers Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Professional Candy Sorter
From Left to Right Hersheys, Tootsie Roll, Mars, and Nestle
The kids were asking who made the different candies, and how MMs got their name. So we had a little candy history during breakfast. We also learned how and why MMs were made. MM stands for the last names of them men that created them.
One M was for Forrest E. Mars Sr., and one for William F. R. Murrie, President of Hershey's Chocolate. We also learned that Murrie had 20 percent interest in the product, and Mars bought out Murrie's 20 percent stake. Brenden was interested in how that works and learned about how people become business partners and partners can buy each other out. Another neat fact we learned was during the War the candies were exclusively sold to the military because they did not melt as fast having the hard candy coating.
