How to Make Swamp And Gator Food

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water (simulating swamp water), 1/2 cup of vegetable broth (representing mud), 2 tablespoons of rendered chicken fat (for richness), 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives (representing grass), 1/4 teaspoon of finely ground bone meal (optional, for a unique flavor), and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped candied ginger (representing squashed mosquitoes – a sweet and spicy kick!).
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Drop by spoonfuls onto a sheet of parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  6. Enjoy your Swamp & Gator Bites while watching the Gators play (or any other exciting event!)
