One of the joys of the kitchen is the ability to share your knowledge with your children. And if you can sure this knowledge so that it leads to healthy eating, all the better.

One of the ways I learned my way around the kitchen was when my mother allowed me to do simple tasks and complete simple recipes. Here is a great recipe that you can do with you kids, and its a tasty, healthy, sweet little treat.
