These are great for on the go like going to the park, a long car ride, or a camping trip. They don’t melt in the cooler and are actually quite filling! Don’t have chocolate chips or Reece’s Pieces?

Finding snacks that kids actually like that aren’t just straight up sugar is hard to do. These have just the right amount of sweetness that your kids still think they are getting that extra sugary snack they love but they are getting lots of good nutrients and natural sugars from the honey. Between me, my husband, and the boys we have these all eaten by the end of the day. You can easily double or triple the recipe to fit your family size.
