I believe in nutritious food at every meal but at the same time I am not one of those "healthy-in-your-face" kind of mom. In the sense, I do not abstain from sugar/fat/white flour to go the anti-junk route. So while I might give in to my little one's morose face at the grocery aisle, I make sure it's not often. My son is at this stage when every junk food seems to take his fancy. Candy this, chips that - you get my drift.

So we have come to an agreement to avoid an impasse. I agree to make his junk food. He seems to like this idea, at least for now and doesnt bother me as much during our shopping spree. At times when he tries to break the deal, I promise him a homemade-junk that very week and he gives in. Both of us get happy that way. This week, it turned out to be this Chocolate Chip M&M (and peanut butter cup) Cookie cake.

Since it contains both his (current) favourite candies, you can imagine his excitement. My way of bring my "momminess"(!) into this is by using quality ingredients that is sans loaded chemicals and deprived of nutrients. M&M candy and Peanut butter cups have healthier counterparts in the market nowadays that mimic their appearance and their taste (almost) and that is what I have used in this recipe today.
