Kid friendly Cous Cous?

[Anonymous]

I love how quickly couscous cooks up, so I buy the plain while wheat kind and no matter how I prepare it, spice it, add sweet things like craisins, put it under sauces--they're not fans. I even made couscous cakes once (like a crabcake, not birthday cake) and dh and I loved it and they didn't. Do I give up or do you have a great idea for me??

My kids LOVE Israeli couscous (not available at every store--I find it at Harris Teeter but not Safeway). They find regular couscous just OK.

Something like this?
