Kids in the Kitchen - Giant Homemade Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

I join forces with my good friend Carrie @YoungLivingOilLady each week to bring you this family friendly recipe link up. It is our desire to encourage families to cook and eat together. Meals cooked at home are healthier, and time spent together in the kitchen is good for families!

We use Cooking 101 as part of our family homeschool. I’m teaching the boys to put together healthy family meals, life skills, and budgeting, as well as teaching them tips for cooking in the kitchen. We encourage real food vs. processed food. Let’s bring the family, back to the table!

Our oldest son (almost 12) is away visiting cousins. This was their idea and their creation - thanks for the recipe Aunt Jill. Now y'all head to Florida and come make some with me!

They had a ball goofing off in the kitchen - even baby cousin was laughing (so cute)
