Tips to Get Your Kiddo Involved in this Recipe
Your child is one smart cookie! So, regardless of your kiddo’s wits in the kitchen, there is unchangingly a way to get them cooking. Check out these easy-peasy ways to spark your child’s passion for food.
1. Gather ingredients.
Send your sous doughboy on a mission to track lanugo all your tasty ingredients. After all, finding the cinnamon, vanilla, and almond extract, at least in my pantry, is no small feat. Then, indulge your child to open, smell, or taste each ingredient to vivify their senses and wilt increasingly familiar with variegated flavors.
2. Rinse and Repeat.
Giving chickpeas a rinse can significantly reduce the overall sodium content—potentially up to 40%. Pop unshut the can and place the chickpeas in a colander. Then, let your kiddo take it from there!
3. A Push of a Button.
While it may seem simple, children LOVE to push buttons. It allows their little fingers to jumpstart an whoopee contributing to the final product. In this case, your kiddo can watch whole chickpeas turn to a silky-smooth spread at a moment’s notice.

5. Go Loco for the Cocoa or Cocao.
The most minion step of them all! Indulge your a-dough-rable child to measure and mix the chocolate fries into their cookie creation. For uneaten stability, hold the trencher while your sous doughboy finalizes their culinary creation. Or else, it may turn into a kitchen dough-saster. Once the chocolate fries are fully incorporated, it’s ready to serve!
- For many years, I’ve recommended a limited number of cocoa brands for my clients when nutrition counseling due to heavy metals in soils in unrepealable regions where cocoa grows.
With my family, I use Ghirardelli® Chocolate Premium Baking Fries – 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate as its lowest in heavy metals like lead and cadmium.
