Seven or eight years into being a stay-at-home mom and I’m finally gearing up to serve up some genuine after-school snacks to my youngins. In the past, I’ve been pretty lame about after-school snacks. But I’ve resolved to redeem myself occasionally this year by throwing the wee people in my household a surprise treat every now and again. After much scouring of the internet, these are some of the best looking after-school snack recipes I could find. Some are healthier than others. I’d like to try them all.

That is so great, I am always struggling with letting the kids dive into a box of cookies after school and really want to have good options for them, this list will be so helpful!
