Last night we went to my son’s first grade musical, Dinostars.  He played a Pterodactyl, and had a speaking part.  He did a great job!  All the kids did a great job, they were all so cute dressed up like dinosaurs, singing their songs. Amazing how grown up he is getting.  He turns 7 next month.  While he was at school yesterday, I went out and bought him a new pair of shoes.  They were the same size as mine!  Seriously?!  My 6 year old has the same size feet as me?  I am really not sure how I feel about this.

Despite how big he is getting, I can still win him over with treats .  Hopefully that will never change.  He was a big fan of these bars.  He doesn’t always like white chocolate, but he did in here!  I had seen these White Chocolate M&M’s all over the place, I just had pick up a bag, and try them myself.  My husband loves butterscotch, so I thought I would mix the two together.  He loved these Blondies I made, but I wanted the butterscotch flavor to go all throughout, instead of just chips.  So I melted the chips down, and stirred it into the batter.  Brilliant!  I am seeing this technique working out well with other recipes too.

  1. My son had his first stage performance recently too (dance and singing). We did a lot of practice together so I was really happy he enjoyed the performance. I know how you feel. 🙂 Wow your son’s shoe size is same as yours? I’m 5 feet, so I know eventually my kids will be taller than me very soon… a little bit scary, but it’s better that way. Haha. These bars look delicious!

  2. I loved butterscotch candy as a kid and who doesn’t like M&Ms? In bar form, together, I bet they were a hit with everyone. They would be with me! 🙂

  3. I don’t even know what a Pterodactyl is? Maybe I need to go back to school. I don’t know when my shoe size was the same as my mom’s but it lasted only about 6 months. I was always jealous of friends who could share shoes with their moms. I suppose your son has now yearnings to share your shoes.

  4. oooh..these sound yummy! Love the idea and I think I would LOVE this! My little girl can have a piece or two, but I think I’ll save most of it for myself… Thanks! 😀

  5. It is amazing how big they get and so fast! These delightful treats would win me over as well 🙂

  6. If he is anything like my BF as he grows, treats from his mom will always win! These bars look sooo yummy – they would win anyone – any size shoe over 😀
