This is one of my absolute favorite treats to make (and eat!).  Kids can help add and mix the ingredients, and then, when the popcorn is done cooking, they’ll have a great time drizzling the chocolate over the popcorn!

 

Rolo Cake Mix Bars

This is another really easy recipe to do with the kids.  I’d recommend mixing the bulk of the ingredients yourself and then calling the kids in to put the cut up Rolos on top.  The picture just can’t do this amazing dessert justice!
