Ingredients for After School Health Snacks For Kids

  • Wafers
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup raisins
  • Chunky Peanut Butter
  • Instant Nonfat Dry Milk Powder

How to Make After School Health Snacks For Kids

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if using graham crackers to toast them slightly for added crunch (optional).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups crushed Triscuit crackers (or graham cracker crumbs), ¼ cup honey, ½ cup raisins, ½ cup peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons instant nonfat dry milk powder.
  3. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and a dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until it holds together.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  5. Roll the balls in the remaining crushed Triscuit or graham cracker crumbs to coat.
  6. Serve immediately for a warm, gooey treat or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for firmer bites.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
