This updated version of the candy recipe of yesteryear would be great to make today or anytime you are looking to have a flying good time.
Small Hersey chocolate bars (instead of gum)
Gummy Lifesavers (instead of hard mint Lifesavers)
Smarties
Small rubber bands
Place rubber band between two gummy Lifesavers and keep your fingers in the rubber bands during the next steps. It makes it easier to put the plane together.
Step Two:
Fit the Smartie between the two Lifesavers "wheels."
Step Three:
Then loop one side of the rubber band over the Hersey bar (keep your one finger/thumb in the other side of the rubber band so to hold it in place). Then loop the other side around the chocolate bar.
This is what it looks like from the underneath side of the plane.
These are really neat. I know my kids would love to make these. Of course, they'd attempt to fly them everywhere.
