I’m a mom who really enjoys baking and creating yummy treats for my family. Now that four of my six kids are old enough to participate in the kitchen, we all have fun making brownies, cakes, and cookies.
Two recipes that are easy and fun to make for kids are “monkey bread” and “monkey munch”, which are definitely favorites with my monkeys!
Soft, warm, delicious Monkey Bread!
