                                PROSPECTUS
                          DATED AUGUST 27, 1997
                      495,000 Shares of Common Stock
                          of BAB Holdings, Inc.

    	This Prospectus supplements and updates the Prospectus of BAB Holdings, 
Inc. (the "Company") dated August 6, 1997 (the "Original Prospectus") 
concerning the sale of 2,100,867 shares of common stock of the Company for the 
account of certain shareholders of the Company named therein (collectively, 
the "Selling Shareholders").  This Prospectus amends the Original Prospectus 
to increase the number of shares offered by the Selling Shareholders from 
2,100,867 to 2,595,867 shares, which increase results solely by operation of 
the anti-dilution provisions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held 
by certain of the Selling Shareholders.  

    	As a result of such increase, the table describing the terms of the 
Offering and the table setting forth the names of the Selling Shareholders and 
the number of shares offered by each are amended and restated, as set forth 
below.

(1)  	Assumes conversion of all Preferred Shares.  Because the conversion 
price is subject to change in relation to the market price of the Company's 
Common Stock (see "Description of Securities -- Preferred Stock"), the number 
of shares actually received upon conversion and, accordingly, the number of 
shares to be sold pursuant to this Prospectus may change.

(2)   Represents a Selling Shareholder of shares issuable upon exercise of 
warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock.  See "Description of 
Securities -- Outstanding Options and Warrants."

(3)  	Represents a Selling Shareholder of shares issuable upon the exercise of 
options to purchase the Company's Common Stock.  See "Description of 
Securities -- Outstanding Options and Contracts."

    	All of the Selling Shareholders, except Aladdin International, Inc. 
("Aladdin"), Strathmore and Mr. Hanish, purchased Preferred Stock of the 
Company that is convertible into the shares of Common Stock being sold 
pursuant to this Prospectus.  Aladdin is a major shareholder of the Company.  
See "Certain Transactions."  Mr. Hanish is a registered representative of the 
investment banking firm that served as the underwriter of the Company's 
initial public offering and is selling shares of common stock issuable upon 
exercise of a portion of the warrant granted to the underwriter in connection 
with such offering.  Other than as noted above, none of these Selling 
Shareholders has had any position, office or other material relationship with 
the Company.

Re: Registration Statement on Form SB-2
    Relating to the Sale of Shares by Certain Selling Shareholders
    Our File No. 54388.7

Gentlemen:

     This opinion is given in connection with the filing by BAB Holdings, 
Inc. (the "Registrant") with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of a Registration Statement on 
Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement"), with respect to certain shares of 
the Registrant's Common Stock, no par value, as described in the Registration 
Statement, that are currently outstanding or may be issued upon exercise of 
warrants or options or upon the conversion of outstanding Preferred Stock (the 
"Shares").  The Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Rule 462 of 
Regulation C and incorporates by reference the Company's registration 
statement on Form SB-2, Commission File No. 333-29465, declared effective 
August 6, 1997.  The Registration Statement serves to increase the number of 
shares which may be offered pursuant by Selling Shareholders named in the 
Registration Statement and in Registration Statement No. 333-29465.

     We have acted as counsel for the Registrant in connection with the 
filing of the Registration Statement.  In so acting, we have examined the 
originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of 
all corporate instruments and have made such inquiries of officers and 
representatives of the Registrant as we have deemed relevant and necessary as 
a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.  In such examination, we have 
assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all 
documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the original of 
documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies.  As to questions 
of fact material to such opinion that we have not independently established, 
we have relied upon representations or certificates of officers and directors 
of the Registrant.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the following opinion:

    1.  	The Registrant has been duly incorporated and is validly existing 
as a corporation under the laws of the State of Illinois.

    2.  	The Shares to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement have 
been duly authorized and the 882,010 shares already outstanding are, and the 
remaining Shares, when issued and delivered as contemplated under the relevant 
warrants, options, and Preferred Stock, will be, validly issued and 
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.

     We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration 
Statement.  We further consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to 
applications to the securities commissioners of various states of the United 
States for registration therein of various aggregate amounts of the Shares.

                                      Very truly yours,

                                      MOSS & BARNETT,
