These little chocolate snack bites look so good! Who doesn’t love that sweet and salty combo?
What a fun idea to get kids involved in Mardi Gras other than a king cake! My kids love the beads and the masks but can’t partake of too much else! Great for their class too!
Genius!! So cute. And so easy. ;-)
