Yum!! My family and I loved this snack! I omitted the peanuts out of personal preference. I thought they'd turn out like bars, but they're not. Still awesome! -
I made this for my 19 month old and she can't seem to stop eating it! She and I can come to an agreement about healthy food and sweets with this snack. -
I was really surprised at how good and very addictive this is! Made this for a long road trip and we couldn't stop eating it. Will add more nuts next time as we really loved them. Thanks for a great recipe we will make often. -
I made this for my 2yr old and it was super easy and was so very tasty too. My child is used to \
