You could probably call me a chocoholic. I seriously require at least a TASTE of something chocolate on a daily basis. It is just too good! I have a feeling I am passing that gene on to Laila too. She LOVES M&M’s. Every time I take her to the grocery store, it is tradition that she gets to choose a treat at check-out. She always goes straight for the mini M&M’s!
Because we almost always have a bag of these around the house – I thought I would share with you one of our favorite desserts that involve M&M’s! This special treat is SUPER easy to make and delicious for the whole family! You can make them for a party, an after school treat or for a fun dessert after dinner!
