When I was 10 years old... I created this concoction for my parents and their friends from ingredients that were in our fridge. I grew up and everyone still loves these Bites. —shelia

I keep peas and blueberries next to each other in my freezer and have thought about combining them somehow...I love the whimsy of what you did :)
