This sounds like a magical food ritual that I needed to experience with my kids.
Here’s how I made the treat and my kids' honest reactions.

I did both cut sides.
Break the chocolate bar into smaller squares and line them up on one side.
The whole thing took me less than two minutes.

My kids are now in love with the ritual of le gouter.
Here are their honest reactions:
“I was born in the wrong country!”
“Are we having le gouter tomorrow too?”
“We should get salted butter.”
This is just the kind of joie de vivre our family loveswe are making it a Quinn family ritual.
