Scooby Snacks

Remember that thing I ordered on ebay? Well, it arrived! And much sooner than I had anticipated. They day I received it in the mail I had to go borrow some molasses from my good neighbor to get the show on the road. I was that excited.

You see, my children are very much into Scooby Doo right now and they often ask me if I have any Scooby Snacks.  One day I figured out that I could just whip up my own Scobby Snacks and they'd think it was pretty much the coolest thing ever.  And let me tell you, they do!  They've been asking for Scooby Snacks all day.  Even the hubster asked for them- in a Scooby voice- and that alone just about made my day.
