There are some iconic childhood favorite treats I remember fondly and still indulge in today, although not very often. Mouth-watering baked goods like Hostess cupcakes, iced animal cookies, Snowballs and Ho Ho’s bring back happy afternoon snack memories while playing. I seldom buy these for my kids today, knowing much more about healthy eating. But thankfully, there’s a way to make your favorite treats from the past right in your own kitchen. These homemade treats are still baked goods and not something you’d want to give kids everyday, but at least you can recognize every single ingredient in them. Plus, who can resist homemade goods baked from scratch?
