My kids are great fans of these delicious treats. I'm a baker and I work at home. I'm always trying to think of new ideas to delight the senses. One night I made a couple of batches of these treats and I cooled them off in a slanted edge pan. I love a beautiful presentation so I cut up perfect shaped treats. With 5 wonderful taste testers at home nothing is wasted. My kids woke up the next morning and pilled up into (the kitchen) one of their favorite places. Immidiately they saw the goodies. Wanting to devour them all, I made them into as many 1" squares I could get. They looked so cute. Ahhh... what a great way to get a little breakfast. I put a square on a brochette, then a strawbery, another square, a slice of banana, and another square. What better to go with this then a big glass of cold milk. I have snack day on monday for my sons faith formation class. I'm taking them these treats dipped in chocolate! :)
