I don't care if they're authentic or not. They're at least kind-of Mexican, and my family is going to be eating them for Cinco de Mayo. Maybe that's all we need to know...
Strawberry White Chocolate Krispie Treats
And, being teenage boys that are constantly hungry, the kids decided to kill two birds with one stone. They would spend time in the kitchen baking treats. And then they would eat them. I threw them a bag of strawberry flavored marshmallows and a b..
Brown Butter Breakfast Puffs
