Late Night "Snack"urday: Muddy Buddies

by Amanda @ A Few Short Cuts on August 22, 2009

Today I took a mental health day! I ran to Kohl’s, by myself! Which was really nice because I had never been in Kohl’s before. They had great 80% off racks in the kids department. I got the littlest one 2 sets of carters PJ’s, a pack of big girl undies (attempting Potty Training), and a really adorable dress for only $20!

Anyway, back to “Snack”urday! I hadn’t posted it this morning because I was spending time with the kids. I thought we may skip it this week. Then I got questioned! My kids wanted to know what was for “Snack”urday, and Michelle emailed me and said,”What no Snackurday?” So, we are having a late night “Snack”urday!

My husband is busy watching the Bucs and the Jaguars football game. My son, surprisingly, volunteered to help me in the kitchen. This is really a fun recipe for kids! They love to help. It is also a great treat to pack in the lunch box for school! I find that it is perfect for a chocolate craving too!
