Looking for something super straight forward and simple for a mid-week dessert or a relaxed dinner party? I’ve got your back. You can jazz these babies up to make them look all pretty and special (a.k.a. like you’ve spent loads of time on them). They are so simple a child could make them. Except kids probably shouldn’t be hanging around a hot cooktop. So you would probably have to supervise. Therefore you have to be in the kitchen anyway. It would also probably take less time and be less messy if you did it yourself. So on second thoughts, don’t get the kids involved because they can be annoying.
