    I made these for our Vacation Bible School fundraiser lunch, which had a "Fiesta!" Mexican theme. Everyone went crazy over them! Great idea and easy to make.

    Taco bar

    Kelly Nix from SOCIAL CIRCLE, GA

    This was very good and so much fun for my kids. I set it up sort of like a taco bar so they could choose their own toppings. We had a blast!!

    It was kind of good, I didn't put in all the ingredients though because I'm allergic to some of that stuff, like walnuts, etc.
