Treat Time:

Immersion is the dipping of something in liquid so that it is completely covered. When we are baptized by immersion we are completely covered with water. When eating “Immersion Cookies" completely immerse (dunk) cookies into a cold glass of milk. Be sure to have plenty of napkins on hand, as fingers will get wet.
