These went down well in my house. They are great for baby led weaning and even fussy kids won’t realise they have mushrooms in them, at least my guy didn’t anyway, as he won’t touch mushrooms if he sees them on his plate. They would be great served with a sauce and pasta or work fine just on their own.
