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.

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!
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! 🙂
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.
Awesome idea, and very creative recipe!!! Great for any kid!!!!
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! 😀
It is amazing how big they get and so fast! These delightful treats would win me over as well 🙂
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 😀
