Choco Squares

We have 3 kids and in our house we try to avoid having high carb and high sugar foods for a number of reasons but mainly because its easier to keep T on track without so much temptation always in his face.  That being said you will still find the occasional carton of ice cream, bag of chips, or box of Cocopuffs, because life and I don't really restrict what my other kids eat, that's just what works for us.

​

The other day my oldest was eating Cocopuffs and T watched in amazement as the cereal turned the milk into CHOCOLATE MILK! 😋🤣  He turns to me and says "Mami, can you make me that!?!? I know you can make anything!!"  

​

HOW COULD I SAY NO?????

He's the only one I have left that still believes I know everything and can do anything.  Must hold on to this as long as I can!!!!!!  It took a couple tries but finally Coco-Squares was created!!!
