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).

  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.

  6. Serve immediately for a warm, gooey treat or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for firmer bites.
