Now that school is about to start up, I’m sure you’re trying to think of ways to make it a little bit special for your kids. Try these YUMMY back to school snacks to add a little something extra to their busy day. Pack them in their lunches, serve them once they get back home, or whip up a batch of a new treat on the weekend as an activity to enjoy together!
Frosted Donut Pops
These tasty treats don’t require a ton of prep and they are easy to customize. In fact, get each kid to make and decorate their own as an after-school activity (snacktivity?).
Peanut Butter Pretzel Balls
These little bites pack a powerful protein punch and taste amazing. You may need to make a double batch!
Back to School Chalkboard S’Mores
Now these are just TOO CUTE! Make a batch to share with your teacher friends, too.
Kitchen Sink Granola Bars
This one is super easy to customize to your little one’s preferences. My kids would prefer I dump in a whole bunch of chocolate and sprinkles, but do with this recipe as you would like.
Loaded Bacon Ranch Dip
Serve this savory dip with fresh vegetables like celery, cucumber, carrots, or bell pepper strips. You could also serve with chips, pretzels, or crackers. It’s one of my favorites, and my kids enjoy it, too.
Patriotic Toast
This healthy treat is amazing for breakfast, but works absolutely anytime as a colorful snack. Try making the recipe for wheat bread with your kids over the weekend, and enjoy the decorated toast early in the week.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Rice Krispies Treats
What is better than marrying the two iconic treats of childhood? Enjoy the PB&J and Rice Krispies Treat in one delicious snack.
Fish Bowl Bites
Trust me, more than just preschoolers will love this scenic snack gem. Kids will love trying their hand at making them, too.
Back to School Brownies
Teachers and kids will both love these brownies! They’re semi-homemade, so it won’t take a long time to put together for everyone to eat.
