I love making snacks for my youngest daughter to take to school. I feel good about sending her to school with a homemade snack.
When I made this snack for her I of course had to try one to see how they tasted and that is when the troubled started. These bites are so good and I love the size of them, that it was difficult for me to save them for her snack. I think next time I will have to make a double batch so I can enjoy some as well.
