THRIFTY THURSDAY

This Thrifty is a bit different it is about treats... In the summer all kids big and small want a treat.. so how about taking a banana cutting it up into small pieces , pushing it onto a straw and then taking out your cake decorating aprinkles and rolling them onto to the bananas... now you could melt some chocolate as well and then us your sprinkles or rice crispies .. the sky is the limit.. if you want salt crush some peanuts and roll the banana in that... I find this thrifty cause you do not have to go to the store to buy your kids a treat and that saves gas...

Enjoy

Cheers
