School is back in session soon. Time to get the kids packed and ready for a full day of learning! These are great to make for school bake sales or other school functions. They are also fun to have on hand for when the kids come home after school for a special snack before they tackle the homework.
We can just imagine the Cooper family bringing a batch or 2 to share with the cast & crew of Clay Cooper’s Country Express after a show.
