Good Mommy Monkey Munch

Curly's kindergarten class is on a rotating snack system. Once every 26 school days she is responsible for bringing snack for the entire class. Tomorrow is her designated day and she loves to help me in the kitchen so we made Monkey Munch. I feel like a Good Mommy and she loves to take what she made to school. Everybody is happy.

It's so yummy, if you are giving it away you might want to make extra so you can pick at it while it cools and still have enough left. Super easy, super yummy and super fun.
