Most of us could probably share a story or two involving lunch box snack cakes. Some of my favorites were oatmeal pies and crunches. My oldest always loved the brownies. That ooey-gooey chew. The crunchy sprinkles. It would make his mouth water thinking about it until lunch time. Now you can make your own Copycat Cosmic Brownies right at home. Who says you need a bag lunch to enjoy them? They’re just as perfect for summer play days by the pool or sprinkler.
Packages are easy, but homemade just tastes better…
