Muffin Pan Snack for Kids

I surprised cache with this snack tin a few weeks ago at a time when he was having separation anxiety at school drop-off. It was hard to leave him when he started crying and I just wanted to wrap him in a big hug, but I made sure to let the teachers step in so I could step out. The best part about school (for me) is seeing his face light up when I pick him up! I thought it would be fun to make him feel special after school so I made him a little surprise treat with snacks sorted in a muffin tin. I’ve seen some moms do only fruits and veggies, and I’ve seen others do all sweets. We did a mix of both.
Here’s what we used:
- Skinny Pop Popcorn
- Chocolate chips
- Goldfish
- Magic Spoon cereal (love this stuff. Another post soon!)
- Watermelon stars
- Yogurt raisins
- Yogurt pretzels
- Cantaloupe balls
- Salty pretzels
- Cheese stars
- Graham crackers
- Mini marshmallows
It was such a hit! He didn’t eat but 1/3 of it so if you have multiple kids, these snacks will go further for you! I personalized it a little bit with his favorite toys and trucks on display hauling a few snacks. This is why I love being a mama. The holiday treats, the surprises, the cooking and the crafts. This is my kind of motherhood.
Did I leave any snack out that you think should’ve made the cut? Let me know in comments!
