# If there’s any honey and carob syrup left, put it in the fridge. 
# You can use it in milk shakes or as icing on brownies. 
# Here’s where you can let your kids participate -- 
# Take about a spoonful of your dough and make a small ball by rolling it between your palms.

# If you don’t have a cookie cutter, let your kids draw basic shapes on a sturdy board. 
# Cut out the shapes they make and trace it on wax paper or aluminum foil. 
# Then cut out the wax paper or aluminum foil and gently place it on top of the rolled out dough. 
# Using a bread knife, cut around the improvised shape.
