Banana on a stick snack.
October 14th, 2011
I found this idea in Parents magazine, although it suggests to freeze the bananas beforehand. We were not quite so patient, and it worked just fine without freezing – just with a little more mess!
[I covered my banana with peanut butter, not chocolate.]
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1/2 c chocolate chips
1 T veg. oil
cheerios (we used regular)
wooden skewers
1. Warm the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well, then heat for 10 second intervals until chocolate is totally melted.
2. Put the bananas on the skewers. (We had to cut the bananas in half to get them to fit.) Spoon melted chocolate on top. Add cheerios on top.
3. Enjoy!
The kids did most of the assembly of this; all I did was put out the ingredients.
I love easy snacks that everyone enjoys. What are your kids’ favorite snacks?

You should try Nutella! Audrey will put Nutella on a tortilla and wrap that around a banana! Yum!

fyi: you don’t have to use the vegetable oil. the chocolate will work fine on its own, and i think it tastes better! it might be a little more brittle, but tht’s the trade-off. anyway, i love creativity with food! and i love that the kids enjoy cooking with you!

Apple slices and cheese. I get the weight watchers cheddar cheese sticks, slice them up, slice an apple, and enjoy it with a piece of cheese on it. We also slice fruit and dip them in dry jello powder.
