Makes 10 to 12 clusters<\/p>\n
Sweet without being a sugar bomb, these crunchy healthy bites are made for sticky fingers and are super easy to make.<\/p>\n
How to make them: <\/em><\/p>\n Mix about 250ml cornflakes with 65ml of your favourite peanut butter (smooth or crunchy) and 30ml of honey. Scoop the mixture into small cupcake papers and pop into the fridge to firm up. No cupcake papers? Simply roll into small balls and chill.<\/p>\n Extra:<\/em> If you have, add a small handful (around 20ml) of chia seeds for a bit of crunch.<\/p>\n If this is too healthy for your little snack critics, replace the peanut butter with Nutella or baking chocolate!<\/p>\n A savoury upgrade to fruit skewers, these fun bites hit all the right notes! They are cheesy, crunchy, and definitely kid approved.<\/p>\n How to make them:<\/em> Use long pretzel sticks or toothpicks (trim the sharp edges). Add alternative layers of cubed of cheese, mini gherkins and mini rice cakes or popcorn. Finish with a cherry tomato or olive on top.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Makes 12 to 15 snowball bites<\/p>\n What is the holiday without popcorn. A fun, no-bake treat that\u2019s light, crunchy and simple to make\u2026 although a bit messy!<\/p>\n How to make them:<\/em> In a large bowl, mix about 750ml plain popped popcorn with 120ml of mini marshmallows (optional for extra chewiness). In a small bowl, whisk together either: 60ml cream cheese plus 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey or 100ml Greek yoghurt plus 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey. Pour the creamy mixture over the popcorn and gently fold until well coated. Using clean hands or a small scoop, form bite-sized balls and place them on a tray lined with baking paper. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.<\/p>\n Optional:<\/em> Roll the balls in crushed freeze-dried strawberries, desiccated coconut or coloured sprinkles for a playful, fun finish.<\/p>\n Dessert sandwiches for kids. No fridge, no bake, just build and munch!<\/p>\n How to make them: <\/em><\/p>\n Start with plain biscuits as the base (Marie, Tennis or digestives work well). Spread with a layer of peanut butter, Nutella, Biscoff Lotus spread, cream cheese or even ice-cream as the \u201cglue\u201d. Go absolutely wild with toppings.<\/p>\n Choose from:<\/em> Crushed cornflakes, broken wafer sticks, crushed pretzels, mini marshmallows, Jelly Tots, Smarties, cherries or raspberries, colourful sprinkles, coconut or cocoa powder dust<\/p>\n Top with a second biscuit and gently press into a sandwich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Need a fun, healthy and fuss-free way to keep the kids busy these July holidays?
