CHOCOLATE-DIPPED FRUIT
Ingredients
GOOD CHEER Beer lovers, rejoice! Idaho is the world’s largest hop producer, and more and more people are taking advantage of our agricultural bounty by opening breweries in the Treasure Valley. Share a few of these treasures with visiting family members and their only question will be “How did we not come here sooner?” 1. In a large saucepan, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. 2. Place a large, heatproof mixing bowl on top of saucepan so that no steam can escape. Place melting chocolate in mixing bowl and double boil until melted. 3. Dip half of each piece of fruit in chocolate before transferring to a parchment-lined baking sheet to rest. 4. Let cool for 10 minutes until chocolate solidifies. 5. Place in school lunches, serve at parties, and indulge in a few for yourself. • 1 package melting chocolate • Assorted dried fruit, including apricots and mangoes
MOUNTAIN RANGES Surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, we don’t have to go far to find mountaintop winter activities. If skiing or tubing is your idea of winter fun, Bogus Basin is just a short drive away, and heading to McCall makes a fun weekend getaway. ... AND RIVERS Not only are we surrounded by the Payette and Boise rivers, Idaho is also home to the deepest gorge in North America: Hells Canyon. Take that, Arizona! Directions

THE CURSE OF THE HAUNTED TOOTHBRUSH
In a town called Emmett, there lived a boy named Ben. Ben hated brushing his teeth. He avoided it at all costs, even fooling his parents into thinking he’d brushed. One night, as Ben was about to fall asleep, he heard a small voice. “Ben. Ben,” it said. Ben was confused. His brother was away at camp, and it didn’t sound like his parents. Ben pulled his covers over his head, yet the voice continued. “Ben. Be-en.” Finally, Ben couldn’t stand it. He got up and tiptoed into the hall. “Ben. Ben.” The voice was coming from the bathroom! Ben crept in.There, on the counter, was his toothbrush, and, somehow, it was speaking! “Ben, you haven’t been using me. You know what happens to the teeth of little boys who don’t brush them? They all fall out!”

Terrified, Ben ran back to his room, pulled the covers over his head and didn’t sleep a wink that night. From then on, Ben brushed his teeth twice a day, every day. And he never heard the voice again.
