You know what’s better than French toast? French toast sticks. What kid doesn’t like something that is simply *made* for dipping? Exactly! I was so excited to make these for Charli solely because she lives to dip anything in a sauce – so I knew making classic French toast into sticks would be a hit for her…and it was! These are very easy to make, and can be made with any bread…although I will say, nothing beats homemade sourdough!
They crispy out the outside, but soft on the inside. So sweet & fun for the kiddos to enjoy. I hope they love them as much as mine did!
