Fractions: Use a Hershey's Bar

What a concept! I read this idea on a home school blog and immediately thought of Carter who absolutely loves a Hershey's chocolate bar :) He may take after his mother with a little bit of a sweet tooth!

As I will be starting fractions at some point this year with Sterling, I just wanted to make note of the idea for future reference.

I guess there is a book called The Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar Fraction Book that may be worth checking out (oh, bummer, our library doesn't have it). I'm sure that I can come up with my own explanation for fractions with a chocolate bar divided evenly into 12 small rectangles . . .
