Snack of the Day!

Here's our latest and greatest find for after school snacks! Litehouse makes these great little 6-packs of Caramel and Chocolate dip that are sooo yummy. We have used the caramel dip for a while with apples and pretzles (and sometimes mini marshmellows) and then I found the chocolate and they LOVE it. You can dip stuff right in the mini container or open a plastic baggie and pull the sides down (like you would a frosting bag) and put the chocolate in there. Then just cut a small hole in a corner so you can squeeze it out on the banana like shown at left.






Another great snack is to put peanut butter in the baggie to squeeze out on bananas! YUM! A no mess yummy and healthy snack. (Thanks Susie and Patti for letting me in on that great idea!) I Even put sprinkle mini-chocolate chips on top of the peanut butter on the banana for an extra special treat.

Our banana, nut, chocolate snack is great because it gets the kiddos another fruit in for the day, the nuts are great protein which satisfies their hunger, and the dip adds just the sweetness they need to satisfy their sweet tooth. Let us know your favorite after school snack that's yummy and healthy and a little different than the same old! We are always up for trying new things around here!
