Kraft jet-puffed marshmallows featuring Disney/Pixar's Cars

Though there are rarely any treasures on the secret clearance shelf at Target, I always have high hopes right before I look. A few weeks ago, I found these cute marshmallows — they’re shaped like little cars and construction cones in honor of Disney/Pixar’s Cars movie. I don’t eat marshmallows, but the big Kraft bag was marked down to $1 and I knew the colorful jet-puffed wonders would make great bribes for my nieces in Virginia. When my oldest niece was barely old enough to talk, I taught her that she would always be rewarded with sweets if she would shower me with compliments (such as, “you are my favorite aunt” or “you are so beautiful”). I just can’t help being the treat-giving auntie.

In other niece news, Adriel is now learning to ride a two-wheeler (not sure why she opted for an 80s-style leotard), and the twins have apparently become cowgirls.

    i bought them too. I dont know why. I thought i would make rice krispy treats and then i realized they will be purple-brown, but who cares? I will most likely still make rice krispy treats and then eat the whole pan by myself.
