Making chocolate molds!

Its no secret that Mom likes to Bake. But- equally as publicized is Mom's desire to stay fit. She's working on that balance daily. Portion control is one thing that is really hard to do while making sweets! Eva loves to bake and so does Mommy, so we aren't giving it up. This week we made chocolate animals.

A couple pieces of advice to all of you out there who are using toddler sous chefs:
1. Make sure they are snacking on something healthy at the same time as they are helping you make sweets. (seriously- it works- keep those little fingers and mouths busy!)
2. It isn't going to turn out perfectly. Breathe. You'll be okay (that one was for me actually)
3. There is nothing more fun than the look on their face when they show people what they've accomplished. Its worth the 80% effort that you would have saved doing it alone.

Of course taste-testing every colour is a MUST.
