Snickles are Starbursts. Weird, uh? I have no idea where it came from, though it might have been a combination of Skittles and tickles?
You've heard of yogurt-covered pretzels. But have you ever heard of or tried yogurt-covered Dino Buddies? A delicacy to be sure. Well, maybe not. But a breakthrough? Yes! DH jokingly said this week that if we were ever going to get Honey to eat any protein we'd have to cover it in yogurt. The following day I was feeding the kids lunch, which happened to be Dino Buddies. And a little light went on. I'd already tried it with ketchup. Denied. We'd tried bribery with grapes or marshmallows. Suckers. What did I have to lose if I rolled it around in a little Go-Gurt and popped it in Honey's mouth. The result? He liked! Mikey, he liked it!!
Speaking of strange edibles, have you ever had Snickles? I bet you have. You just didn't know they were called Snickles by a very prococious 3 year old. Can anyone guess what a Snickle is?
This very child has entered the "Let's Make A Deal" phase of development. He thinks that anything is up for negotiation. Like the other night when he told me that he was done with his dinner.
Me: But you didn't even touch your peas.
Little C: I don't like peas. I've told you that before.
Me: I'm sorry. But you have to eat 4 bites of peas before you get down, since you're almost 4.
Little C: (staring hard at my face) How 'bout (dramatic pause) 6?!? (another pause) Is that kinda like 3?
Bonus: I'll send a bag of Snickles to whoever can guess what they are.

I'm thinking skittles or snickers.
Sadly, I thought a lot about this. I pondered and pondered. Had I ever HEARD Little C ask for Snickles? No. So then I thought, Skittles, but then I thought I don't see you as a Skittles person, so would you ever get them for your children? I know I wouldn't. Because I'd never be tempted to eat them. And we all know a mother needs a "bite" of whatever her child has. Then I thought Snickers. But that doesn't come in a bag. And I came up with nothing else. So I did a Google search for "snickles" (sad, yes, I know) and they result was some generic recipe for Snickers. But Bri said Snickers, so I'd be out of the running. So I asked Lane. He says to go with starkles. So I'm saying: STARKLES. If I'm wrong, perhaps you still take pity on my crazy, starved brain and send me some. Maybe not. Heaven knows I don't need it. (It's been a bad week = We need to talk.)
I am thinking sprinkes. Perfect for yogurt covered (insert your candy of choice).
I know, I know. Pickles covered with snot. Snickles. But please don't send me any :)
hmmmm, yogurt covered pretzels!
STARKLES! STARKLES! And I thought of that before I saw Rachel's comment.
