After School Snacks – Junk Edition

When I was a little girl, my favorite thing to eat was bread.

Holy cow I could not get enough of the stuff.

The town I grew up in had a little Bread Shoppe that I’d frequent on my walk home from school.

I think I paid 50 cents each for the bakery’s special Cracked Wheat Rolls… Mmmm… Toasted with some grape jam…

Those rolls were the perfect after school snack.

But now…  Now if I had my choice of after school snacks, I’d ditch the bread and dig into one of these delicious options instead…

These No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Granola Bars from Two Peas and Their Pod are the very snack that inspired this post!

Quick and easy to prepare, these Gooey Golden Graham S’mores Treats from Six Sisters’ Stuff would be the best way to end a long day at school.

I just love how Dukes and Duchesses glammed up a traditional glass of milk for her Happy Buddies to find when they came home from school.

One of the Happy Hubby’s favorite treats is Reese’s Pieces, so I know he’d gobble up these Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Bars from Joy in the Jumble.

There’s nothing like good ole’ Cheerios to help things seem better.

Check this yummy recipe out over at Kathie Cooks.

These colorful cookies from Hoosier Homemade have a happy photograph that speaks for itself. 🙂

And, last but not least, several weeks ago a dear friend brought us a plate of these Rolo Pretzel Turtles from How Does She?.

Let’s just say that between the Happy Hubby and the Happy Hubby, there weren’t any treats left by morning. 🙂

And there you have it!

I hope one of these recipes will find its way into your little students’ bellies this Back to School Season!

Your Happy Buddies work hard all day crunching numbers and memorizing state capitols, they deserve something special.

Happy After School Snack-ing! 🙂
