Butterfly Crackers Kids Snack
Living in a house full of kids, there are never enough snacks. In fact, it’s a rare sight when they’re not eating something. And now that summer break is here, we’re already getting bored with our normal snack ideas. There’s nothing boring about our Butterfly Crackers Kids Snack, though!
Our Butterfly Crackers Kids Snack is a healthier snack idea. Not that the kids would know.
With shredded baby carrots, celery, and raisins, mixed with cream cheese, peanut butter, on top of crackers and pretzels. There’s crunchy, salty, and smooth.
First, shred the baby carrots and incorporate into a cream cheese base that’s spread across the cracker.
Then, crisp bites of celery are filled with creamy peanut butter while 2 raisins form the butterfly eyes.
Finally, stuff two pretzels into the peanut butter to make butterfly wings.
It’s a simple 3 step process to a better summer snack idea. Kids seem like they never stop eating. But at least you can feel good about serving them our Butterfly Crackers Kids Snack!
