First of all the video was hilarious!! I’m going to the store today and making these. Not only do they look good for the kiddies but I want them for myself. Always looking for an easy fun cooking project to do with Taylor and this looks perfect! One question did your kids like them that much or was money involved to get them to look that happy at eating this healthy treat:)

Kristin! Teddy and Alex and I just watched your video together and then made your snacks! It was a fun playdate activity! They thought it was really funny seeing Evan, Will, and Cade on your website!
P.S. Almond butter is actually healthier than peanut butter because it has omega-3’s.

These were amazing. I used mango flavored honey and added unsalted sunflower seeds and dried figs. Great snack for the entire family. Thanks.

Kristin,
I’m dying to try this recipe with the kids in the peach room. It’s simple enough to do with a big group, healthy, and seemingly delicious! I’ll make sure to give you the class feedback.
Your video was so cute because it was a typical kitchen scene in all our households, mistakes and all. Thanks for sharing a part of your day with us. It was wonderful to see your kids.
