Kids LOVE dessert but kids LOVE fun desserts even more! With summer wrapping up faster than we’d like to admit, it is time to start thinking about back-to-school treats and recipes. These are the types of desserts that you would most likely want to serve every day (even though your kids might disagree), but wouldn’t it be fun to surprise your kids with one of these fun desserts every once in a while? Maybe in their lunchbox, as an after-school treat, or after dinner? My mom used to do that for my sisters and me and we STILL remember how fun it was:
