Sweets for a cool and gloomy day

It's already December. Snow is not yet falling but the cool weather is here plus the late sunrise and early sunset. I realized that the saying, the weather and how you feel resemble each other is true and that's how I felt in the last few days: gloomy. How I wish I was still basking in the tropical weather of the Philippines but I cannot dream all day long so I made something delightful, to please my sweet buds.

I saw this recipe from a magazine about kids craft and cooking so its for the kids and it's easy, they can also do this by themselves. I hope you enjoy it too - preparing and eating them.
