Snow Cone Syrup
It is barely even Summer and my boys are already asking if we can stop at the local snow cone place or flag down the ice cream man so they can spend my hard earned money on over-priced, frozen sugar. I decided to bring the snow cone place and ice cream man on into my house and have the boys help me whip up some snow cones. It is really quite simple, especially if you do the hard part first!

About Kelli
I just wanted to tell you that you have a fantastic site. It’s been fun to follow. I’ve written you a Alexa review. If you have time I’d appreciate a review of my site http://www.watchmeplayandlearn.com/. If you don’t that’s ok. I imagine running after 3 boys would be time consuming.
Love this!
My boys and hubby are snow cone fanatics.

Ah! This is such a brilliant idea! I keep seeing those sno-cone makers around but I never really wanted to spend the money. I’m so glad to know you can do it with just your blender, yay! I’d be thrilled if you’d share this recipe over at my current link party so everyone can make some this summer! http://practicallyfunctional.net/2012/06/the-fun-in-functional-link-party-2/
