My 3 yr old DS and I made these tonight for dessert and they were a BIG hit! Not only were they easy enough he could help out...but he loved them! I may have sprinkled too much sugar/cinnamon mix on the top, but they taste great! We will make these again! Franklin is one of his favorite shows, and making "SNAIL" was top notch!! Previous photo not posted, will try again once we get a better picture. Yours is terrific!

    I made these yummies for snack for this weeks play group, the boys loved them! I made them with very little sugar (just enough to sprinklie on) and I ommitted the cinnamon (forgot it actually! oops) but I made a dip for them out of peanut butter and honey, heated in microwave, the boys were a sticky happy mess! Good post!
