A recipe for those hut-bound days with the kids.

This recipe is a fun one to make in a hut on a rainy day with kids (or adult kids) as long as it’s cold enough outside to chill things. If not, just make it ahead of time – it will still be delicious.

You can use most types of puffed grains – puffed quinoa or brown rice would work well – and you can also use white chocolate instead of dark.
