Foods for a Flintstone Party
When it comes to party themes, it can be hard to follow through from decor to food. If the Flintstones are your theme this year, some simple tips can turn your ordinary party food into a Stone Age feast.
Brontosaurus burgers
Fred Flintstone didn't settle for just any slab of meat at a BBQ. When he wanted a burger he went straight for the prime meat.
To re-create this favorite, simply use ordinary hamburger (or turkey burger) meat and cut into shapes using dinosaur cookie cutters. Kids will love the fun shape. Another great idea is to let the kids design their own dinosaur using the bun and condiments.
Cookies and candy
Bones can be made easily using sugar cookie dough. Cut out the shapes and arrange on a plate. Add each child's name to one bone for a special touch.
Create a bowl of Sticks 'n Stones using white yogurt-covered raisins and small pretzel sticks. Mix them up in a bowl to create the effect.
Another cute treat can be rock candy. The stick can resemble a club similar to Bamm- Bamm's.
Fruity Pebble treats
Everyone's heard of Rice Krispie treats, but why not take a Flintstone spin on them and use Fruity Pebbles? These little treats are easy to make (all you need is cereal, butter, marshmallow) and are a great finger food. You can also use Cocoa Pebbles.
Finger foods
Cavemen loved meat and ate with their hands, and so should your party-goers. Remember how Fred's car tipped over with the rack of ribs? Meats like corn dogs (which also resemble clubs), hot dogs, ribs, and chicken wings are a great way to incorporate Stone Age eating into modern day parties.
The birthday cake
Sticking with the theme is most important when it comes to the cake. Choosing a main character like Dino or Fred may be easiest if you are making the cake at home. Otherwise, local bakeries have come a long way and can recreate the Flintstone house or car to your liking.
Function
Tying the food into your Flintsone party theme should ultimately consist of easy-to-eat meats, finger foods and treats that bring the fun cartoon family to mind.
