I think if food looks better, your kids will be more willing to eat it. Well, that's not just kids, Adults are the same way. I made this for my BF's baby shower and it was a hit. It was gone faster than the chicken wings. REALLY! All you need is a melon baller or ice cream scoop and a good knife. Be careful though, I nearly cut the tip of my finger off because I thought I was Rachael Ray for a minute:)
