I remember my mom making these delicious ‘fruit’ and ‘veggies’ at every birthday party that my sister and I had when we were young. We absolutely LOVED them. I thought that I might be the perfect time to share this family secret recipe with the world! Can’t wait to share the full party with you later this month.

At the princess’ first birthday party my mom made these little treats as mini strawberries. So the choice is up to you, either way, kiddies LOOOVE them and they look really pretty on any kids party candy table.
