You may have heard me mention before that Maggie and Charlie absolutely love to snack. I try to have some things on hand to make them quick snacks. Not only that, but I want to have some things around that they can make themselves. It keeps them busy, it is a ton of fun, and they really love it when their friends come over and get to make the snacks themselves.
Our recent favorite that has been such a big hit with all of the kids was our DIY Bagel Bites Pizza Bar. When we went shopping this week, I let the kids help choose what toppings they wanted to put on their pizza bites. They were so excited to pick out their own vegetables and toppings and we could not wait to make our snack. Here is a list of toppings that the kids picked out.
- Green Peppers
- Red Peppers
- Tomatoes
- Pepperoni
- Bacon Bites
- Cheese
- Pineapple
At snack time, a few friends happen to show up at the right time, so they got to make their own Bagel Bites pizzas as well. They bellied up to the island and topped their own Bagel Bites. 
Then, I put them in the microwave for a few minutes and we all sat down to a quick, yummy snack made with real cheese, homemade sauce, and 0g trans fat. This was a win for everybody! If this doesn’t sound like fun, you can find more recipes using Bagel Bites on their website.
I couldn’t stop there though. We also picked up some Delimex Beef & Cheddar Rolled Tacos while we were at Walmart. I absolutely had to make this even more fun for the kids, so I whipped up some homemade salsa {I promise, I will share the recipe with you all soon}, some cheese dip, and some guacamole. I set them out in some dishes for the kids, served up their Delimex Beef & Cheddar Rolled Tacos, and they gobbled them up! Maggie and Charlie love dipping things. They had so much fun with these fun snacks.
Whatever age our kids may be, these are a few great options for #AfterSchoolSnacks that the whole family can enjoy.
You can also get some Bagel Bites coupons and Delimex coupons and scoop up the savings on your next shopping trip.
What are some of your favorite quick snacks for after school?
I love the idea of personalizing those snacks, what a great treat for your kids! #client
They always seem to eat better when they help make it. Plus, they think of it as a project and that makes it extra special.
These are great ideas. Being the mom of teens who has sort of gotten thrown back into the little kid thing, I need these reminders. 🙂
Ive heard if these and how big a hit they are but havent gotten around to doing them with princess. Might be something special to do before baby #2 arrives
[…] Taquitos and some Delimex beef and cheese tacos on our last trip to Walmart. We have had some rolled taco dippers before and I remembered how much they loved them so I knew they would be a hit! Even though they […]
I love pineapple on pizza. I like snacks that don’t require too much prep work so fruit and vegetables but I add dressing, peanut butter, or sauces so it doesn’t get too boring.
This sounds fun to do with my daughter when she has friends over!
