APRIL FOOLS' FRIES: CINNAMON-SUGAR STICKS

Steps:

• Looks like: French Fries
• Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 365 degrees F in a deep skillet. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1 to 2 tablespoons cinnamon on a plate. Cut stale white bread into sticks and fry until golden, about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar while still hot. Serve with strawberry jelly as ketchup.

APRIL FOOLS' SUSHI: RICE KRISPIES NUGGETS

Steps:

• Looks like: Sushi
• Make a batch of Rice Krispies Treats; shape into small oval mounds while still warm. Top with a dab of pistachio paste, then cover with whole or minced red and orange gummy candy (such as Chuckles or Sunkist Fruit Slices). Wrap with a strip of green fruit leather, if desired. To make a sushi roll, flatten a warm Rice Krispies Treat mound into a thin rectangle on a piece of fruit leather and arrange gumdrops down the center. Roll into a cylinder and slice into pieces. Serve the sushi with wasabi, ginger, and chocolate syrup as soy sauce. Cut a sour-candy belt to look like a grass garnish.

• Pulse 2 tablespoons finely chopped pistachios, 1/4 cup cream cheese and 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a food processor.

DOUGHNUT PAN EGG SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Lightly coat a 6-cavity nonstick doughnut pan with nonstick spray.
• Crack the eggs into a large liquid measuring cup and whisk until no streaks remain; sprinkle with salt. Divide the eggs among the cavities of the doughnut pan and top with the bacon and chives. Carefully place the pan on a sheet tray and bake until the eggs are set and slightly puffed up, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then remove the eggs from the doughnut pan.
• Meanwhile, split open the bagels. Top the bottom halves with American cheese pieces and transfer to a sheet tray. Spread the top halves with butter and place them butter-side down on the sheet tray. Bake until the cheese is melted and the buttered bagels are starting to turn golden brown, about 4 minutes.
• Top the cheese half of a bagel with an egg ring and drizzle on some ketchup. Season with salt and pepper and cover with the butter half of the bagel. Repeat with the remaining bagels, egg rings and ketchup to make 5 more sandwiches.
