5 Kid-Friendly After School Snacks Perfect For Back To School

It’s August, which means one thing: the kids are getting ready to go back to school. And we don’t know if it’s just us, but have you noticed how they need to eat the minute they come through the door even when you packed a full lunch? That’s when it’s time to get crafty. The following are five of our favorite after-school snacks that the kids will love (and you won’t hate making). 

Easy. Fun. Nutritious. Tasty. What more can a parent ask for?!

CEREAL CHOCOLATE CRUNCH BARS

Crunchy, chocolatey, and peanut buttery, these bars will seem like a total treat but you don’t have to worry about an overload of sugar like the traditional variety. You might need to worry about whether there will actually be any left by the time the kids get home, however…
