Healthy Snacks

As parents, we are always looking for fun, healthy snacks for your little one.  Here are two recipes that fit the bill.

Ants on a Log

Celery sticks, washed and cut
Peanut butter
Raisins
Spread peanut butter on celery sticks and sprinkle w/ raisins. Fun and good for you!!

Dirt Cups

2 cups cold milk
JELL-O Chocolate flavor Instant Pudding
1 tub Cool Whip, thawed
pkg chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
8-10 7oz. paper or plastic cups

Prepare JELL-O mixture by combining milk, JELL-O, and Cool Whip.  Place in refrigerator to set.  Sprinkle cookie crumbs in the bottom of cups, fill with JELL-O/Cool Whip Mixture.  Top JELL-O w/ cookie crumbs.  Insert Gummy Worms into "soil".  Kids love this one.  Pudding is a great source of calcium, but be careful not to allow too many sticky, gummy worms.
