Does anyone have recipes that use ingredients most commonly found at home that can be used as snacks and be tasty. I would like cheap recipes, ones which I can try out everyday for kids. Does anyone have such recipes? (Really easy ones like.... french fries, but not french fries as I already know how to make them!) Thanks in advance.Any cheap and easy snack recipe ideas?
PB%26amp;J sandwiches, apples and peanut butter, cereal with milk, air-popped popcorn, smoothies, ants on a log, yogurt with granola (TIP: I use vanilla yogurt and color it with food coloring for more fun for my kids - they love picking out their own colors).Any cheap and easy snack recipe ideas?

granola bars:
dry oatmeal,honey/peanut butter/corn syrup,brown sugar, raisins (other dried fruit bits), chocolate chips, coconut, vanilla....etc.
mix, pour into greased pan, bake at 350 degrees 15-20 mins, cut into bars once cooled. mmm.
Get some cheese and wrap it up in ham - Cream cheese is usually best.
or Pizza sticks - get some french baugettes, slice them in half (horizontally), spread some tomato paste and add sprinkle some cheese on top (Mozzarella is better, dont use some stupid expensive cheese like Brie). Put them under a grill or in an oven till they are cooked.
how about the planters peanuts and bbq sauce thing from the commercial

it's called a mini cheesecake.
cream cheese on graham crackers with jelly of your choice sprinkle with finely chopped nuts if you like.
%26lt;adds taste and texture. we like pecans and almonds%26gt;
we use sugar free polaners jelly with fat free cream cheese and it is awesome!!
I think each square is only 100 or so calories, so they can have more than one. add a glass of reduced fat milk to top it off.
