Cooking with my kids isn’t just cooking, it’s definitely an experience. After the apple cake day, I should have learned my lesson, but oh no! Wild and crazy Mamma did it again!
But I’m getting ahead of myself. Last weekend, when my dad came over, I made him No Bake Vanilla Cake Batter Chocolate Truffles for his “Sweet Treat of the Month”. (That was my birthday gift this year to the man who has everything…I make him a special sweet every month, package nicely and send it his way. It’s been a great way to try out some new recipes!)
M was dying to help, but I ended up waiting until after he went to bed to make them and he was pretty disappointed. So, in another one of my “Hey! Let’s change things up and be spontaneous!” moods, I surprised him with a second round of chocolate truffles. To say they were excited would be an understatement!
And OH. MY. WORD. Another cooking experience for the books. I couldn’t help but laugh and take pictures of this craziness.

M was in chocolate dipping heaven, while D (who hates all things messy) sat there and immediately ate his hard work. They weren’t pretty, but they tasted pretty good!
Here’s the original post with a much prettier picture:
