My kids love bread...in any shape or form...bread is their favourite. I think this is a pretty common love for most kids...no? I like to use this love to my advantage. These cheddar and herb biscuits are a delicious way to get the kids eating chili, stew and soups. These perfect little dippers are so good that the kids are unable to resist eating the entire dish.

Nutrition
These biscuits have quickly become a family favourite...as quickly as I bake them - the kids eat them. The best part about these biscuits is how they have my kids eating their entire dinner. My girls dip these biscuits into their chilli and the next thing you know they are cleaning their bowls...seriously. What will you dip your biscuit into?
