Ho Ho Bars........

Awhile back Seth went to Minneapolis with us ladies and had the best time ever he says. He enjoyed browsing through the grocery stores and trying all the samples at Whole Foods.

Another reason I'm sure he liked that road trip was he had an entire box of HoHo's to himself.

My mom and I sure weren't fighting him for one of those rubber rolls! My sister may have helped him out and took one off his hands.

Over a weeks time he had eaten a box of HoHo's himself with a little help from his bro once he found them in the car.

I never buy those kinds of things so they are a real treat if they ever get them. He relished each rubbery morsel too.

So to celebrate Seth's upcoming birthday I made him some real HoHo bars. They make a big pan full so he will have to share these!!
