Snack-Tastic!

So, everybody likes snacks. But after a while, they start to blur together. Juice pouches, cakes made of fake frosting, maybe healthier stuff, like granola and fruit leather. To be clear, I'm talking about stuff you hand out at V.B.S, or Summer camp. But on that, I researched some delicious alternatives, so you don't have to.* And if you'll come along with me,  we'll get straight into it! 

First up, Tiny Ice Cream. Specifically, most major grocery stores carry single serve Ice cream,  available in packages of roughly 4 oz. cups.  Which equates to,  like,  one scoop. But kids always love the teacher who Ice cream. 

     Next,you probably know about G.O.R.P. Good old raisins and peanuts. If not, it's an option. But my angle is more like, generally open to random provisions. Less catchy, I knew. But you might throw in chocolate chips, toasted almonds, cheezy crackers. Just some possibilities. The world is your proverbial oyster. Go nuts! 

Howsabout Pool water?** Not really, but kids like gross names. Super simple, for this you mix half a cup of blue Gatoraide, and half a cup of Sprite. (Not sponsors!) Then, you can add lemon slices, Sweedish Fish, or gummy sharks for garnish. Spiffy!

Have y'all heard about muddy buddies**? This one might take more work.. Its also called monkey munch, or puppy chow. For this, you'll need to measure out 9 cups of a chunky cereal. Flakes and pebbles won't do. After that, warm up a cup of creamy peanut butter, a half cup of chocolate chips, and a teaspoon of vanilla. In case of peanut allergies, you could also use creamy almond butter.  Once softened, mix it together, and add the cereal.  Coat it all the way, and let them cool. Then package it, and enjoy!

 I hope that blessed you. For a little more, check out voiceintha on blogspot, facebook, X, and instagram       Thanks!
