Today, I introduced Caleb into the world of baking. . . well, sort of. Since we didn't actually do any baking because we made these, what I introduced to him was the world of dumping pre-measured ingredients into a pot and stirring.
Step 1: Dump everything Mom gives you into the pot.
Step 2: Take a sip of milk from the measuring cup.
Step 3: Smile real big.
Step 4: Clean-up. Be sure to lick every last bit of chocolately peanut butter goodness off!
To a curious, mess-loving 16-month old, I am pretty darn sure that dumping, stirring and "cleaning" are more exciting than a trip to Disneyland. And since Disneyland is a lot more expensive and time-consuming (especially considering the trans-Pacific flight such a trip to would entail right now), a 30-minute "baking" project ranks higher in this Mom's book, too!
