COCO POP MUFFINS

Coco Pops are a childhood favourite, and if you grew up in a home like mine they were only a once in a blue moon treat. So when I found this recipe for Coco Pop Muffins it definitely sparked memories of this childhood forbidden fruit. These muffins definitely went down a treat with my children especially as I'm following the family tradition of only buying them on the rare occasion the cruel mother that I am that insists my children eat a nutritious breakfast instead (ha ha).
