As regular readers will know, I’m always on the look out for tasty, nut free, snacks for the boys lunchboxes. Homemade fruit breads are an easy win; they are simple to make, pack well (don’t crumble!) and I know what’s in them!
Having made a Lego cake for the 5yo’s birthday party, I thought it would be fun to make Lego Head marshmallow pops to put into the party bags.
