How to Make Peanut Butter Kisses ( With Two Three Year Olds)

First, gather everything together and measure out your ingredients. Can you imagine how messy that would be? I used a peanut butter cookie mix because it was easier and got it for free when K-mart was doubling coupons up to two bucks! Next, make sure they wash their hands. You never know how many times they have stuck their finger up their nose today. If at all possible, get the same color spatula. If not, they will fight over who gets which color and finally decide that tomorrow when they switch places and Daniel becomes Damon and Damon becomes Daniel they will have the opposite color. (??? How do they come up with this stuff??) Next, let whoever didn't get to choose spatulas pour the first ingredient in. Be prepared to answer several questions like, "What is this? Where do eggs come from? Can I touch it?" and etc. Next, let them take turns mixing.







No, they aren't really getting anything accomplished but they feel big and you can REALLY mix it when they are done. Take a hand washing break because you saw one of them, out of the corner of your eye, pick their nose and they are both denying it.






After that, roll the mix into balls, not squares, not snakes, not dinosaurs, just regular round balls and cover them with sugar. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven. While you wait, unwrap the kisses. No, you can't eat them. No, they won't fit up your nose and no, if you drop one on the ground you still don't get to eat it because I will know you dropped it on the ground just so you could eat it . Then wait....

And wait.




And wait.(they decided after the second picture they wanted to tell me how the should pose) Finally, take out of oven and place kisses in the center of cookies and let cool.

Enjoy!!
Even though you know you have a mess and the floor that you got on your hands and knees and scrubbed earlier today is covered in sugar because the boys decided they would wrestle in the floor while the cookies baked and before I could grab them to wash their hands. Enjoy not only the cookies, but also in the fact that you got to make a memory with two special little boys. I know you are asking yourself,"Where was Gabby while all this was going on?"
