After School Snacks

Sack Lunch/ After school Snacks:

Week of August 25-30


Peanut Butter and Celery Surprise

Makes 5-6 1" treats.

1-2 stalk celery, washed and dried. Cut into 1" lengths.

2 tablespoons peanut butter

Honey to taste

Cheese, sliced into long narrow logs (Mozzarella, Muenster, or Provolone work best.)

Combine peanut butter and honey, spread into celery groove. Stick cheese into peanut butter mixture and spin to hide. Top with raisins, chocolate chips, sprinkles, powdered sugar, cinnamon etc.



Caramel Apple S'mores

Makes 4-5 servings

2 granny smith apples

1 package caramel dip

1 bag mini marshmallows

1 bag chocolate chips

1 package graham crackers crushed into coarse crumbs.

Begin by combining in a small bowl grahams, marshmallows and chocolate chips. Slice apples into 8 slices each, dip apple slices into caramel, then roll in graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallows. Can be made without caramel, just substitute caramel and mini marshmallows with marshmallow crème.


BLT Sandwich Spread

½ lb. precooked bacon

1/3 cup mayo

¼ cup sour cream

½ cup diced tomatoes fresh or canned (drained).

¼ tbs. garlic salt

Salt and pepper to taste.

Combine all ingredients. Spread on bread, tortillas, or pitas with fresh lettuce.

  • To keep cool in sack lunch, prepare sandwich, lay on tin foil, cut diagonally and wrap with foil. Place in plastic bag. At the bottom of your sack, put a frozen juice box or Capri Sun. This will keep your whole lunch cool and will be thawed in time for lunch.
  • For an afterschool snack, serve spread on crackers with slices of cheese.
