My son just loves muffin tine meals. Sometimes he helps me move his dinner into a muffin tin! There is something special about have a meal or a snack in one. JDaniel loves to have a snack after his “quiet” time in the afternoon. I decided to surprise him with a frozen banana buffet for a snack late last week. He was thrilled.
JDaniel really enjoys getting to dip foods and I have told him that he can’t double dip if other people are sharing the dip with him. This muffin tin was his alone and he was able to dip as much as he wanted to. We have a found the key to success dipping is to only put a small amount of each sauce into the muffin cups.
The buffet tin is filled with two dips and four toppings. The dips are chocolate sauce and honey. The toppings are coconut, chocolate chips, sprinkles, and cinnamon. If you children don’t like any of these sauces or toppings, please feel tree to substitute them with one that your children like.
It was a lot of fun to watch JDaniel try a variety of combinations. He loved the sprinkles and coconut with honey and chocolate syrup. The cinnamon was mixed with honey more often than not.
Tip: I gave JDaniel a whole banana and it was really too big for a snack. JDaniel ended up putting it in the fridge for later. It would have been better to give him small sections of banana. The sections could have been placed on small fork or toothpick for dipping.
