Not only do they taste better but they are less expensive to make and doesn’t have all those strange ingredients. They may be even a little healthier than buying a box at the store. 😉 These are great to make ahead of time and stick them in the kids lunches when they go back to school. If you don’t want to use sprinkles, you could try M&M’s, or other goodies for the topping.
