Wonka Factory
"This animated playground created by Nestlé, was inspired by Dahl’s Willie Wonka character. In the science lab, you’ll learn about the melting points of solids such as chocolate, butter, sugar and ice. Or balance the acid and alkali levels in the sweet and sour candies. In the Inventonator, you can arrange musical machine parts to create a melody. All the games require Shockwave, and are designed for the under-ten set. Though obviously designed to sell their candies, the result is fun and educational. "

The Ice Cream Parlor
"Wow! The Ice Cream Parlor is an extensive collection of frozen dessert recipes: not only ice cream, but also gelato, sorbet, frozen yogurt, granita, and ice cream toppings. Although the recipes are written for use with an ice cream maker, the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) includes instructions on how to make both ice cream and granita without a machine. The site is sprinkled with typos, but I’m willing to overlook them because I want to try the homemade peach ice cream with fresh raspberry topping."

Surfing the Net with Kids: Holiday Sweets
"I do not bake. Unfortunately my kids don’t quite accept this, and still harbor fantasies about baking cookies with Mommy. In fact, they don’t want to stop at cookies. They want to make chocolate truffles. To appease them, I searched my cookbooks for a recipe. I ended up online where I did find an easy chocolate truffle recipe. And along the way, I found these holiday treats to share with you. Have a safe and happy holiday season!"
