My daughter is starting kindergarten this year. She is feeling a little apprehensive and I really want her to get excited about her new adventure. I thought about the idea of making her some fun back to school desserts to have after her first day to celebrate. These adorable Pencil Twinkies are perfect. They are quick and easy and are sure to put a smile on her face when she gets off the bus on her first day.
