Food on a stick is one of man's greatest achievements — as is the s'more — so these pudding pops are the ultimate dessert.

If you're looking for an easy way to satisfy that sweet and salty craving, look no further than these Saltine ice cream sandwiches.

This is a creative and delicious project that kids will ask to make over and over.

Using coconut cookies (or any type of flat cookie, really), you can re-create this beautiful icebox cake. Layer up cookies, berries, and whipped cream (little kiddo hands work best for accuracy), and put in the fridge for at least a few hours before serving up — if they can wait!
