We have to bring in a snack for my daughter's class once a month. The first month I remembered at the last minute and grabbed a box of teddy cookies (I know, but it was all I could think of). The second we bought 3 boxes of cereal and divided it up (daughter helped me) into nice size servings. Last month, I forgot b/c I was so busy . This month (next week) I found I could get a GREAT deal on what should be a very nice snack - sweet enough and hearty enough to stave off some of the hunger). Baby carrots, sliced oranges, and 1/2 bagel with cream cheese for only $11 total for a class of 20.
I really want to make sure they're filled up on my day b/c they have to eat lunch at 10:15! So by snack time (around 2) they're starving. Any ideas (preferably cheap) and something that doesn't involve baking (which I hate) would be great.
Here is the tip......! you can make some milk toffees. 1 liter condensed milk, 1 liter sugar, a little bit of water , chopped cashew 200 gs. Put sugar and water in to a non stick pan keep it on fire and then add milk till it makes a thick sticky mixture. Then add some butter and the cashew .Stir it from the begining till end.When its cooked enough put it on a buttered tray and mark small pieces. after 1 or 2 hours you can seperate the little slabs . put it to a dry bottle , keep a fresh cloth on it ..............close the lid. That is it...................Tasty................My kids love it. I make milk toffees every week end..................Try and let me know.
Has anyone here heard of ants on a log ? my kids loved that when they were little . that is celery peanut butter smeared inside of the celery and raisins put on top . I love those and they are healthy . the kids like them too .
I can't believe that your child's school will let you bring snacks that are not pre-packaged. they have made the rules much more strict around here! Plus, most schools discourage sweet treats at all
(our school just banned that stuff this past year) also, with so many nut allergies, many are banning the whole peanut butter thing. I would suggest fruit or veggies, some crackers. even popcorn, divided into smaller baggies. indivual cups of applesauce, pudding etc. would also be good.
If your school lets you bake, you could do a fruit pizza. pillsbury has a nice recipe using sugar cookie dough, a cream cheese spread and sliced fruit on top. you can do a large one and slice or individuals using the slice and bake cookies!
French bread stick (baguette) cut into slices (circles) spread with cream cheese and raisins stuck on to look like faces.
Cream cheese can be plain, or even fruit-flavored.
You can get fancy and use little slices of celery or half grapes to decorate as well.
