Healthy snack time.

I’m convinced one of my kids’ favorite things in life is their ‘after nap’ snack. Since they’re all homeschooled, they don’t really have an after school snack, so we go for nap time, instead.

Homemade fruit snacks, smoothies, and popsicles are some of their go-tos. But every now and again I like to give them a little treat. Of course, I make those treats healthy enough that I don’t mind them devouring the whole batch.

Like these “Baby” Chocolate Chip Nut Butter Cookies.

Tiny everything.

I don’t know about your kids, but something mine love almost as much as snack time is anything tiny or miniature. They go crazy for my homemade mini donuts and marshmallows, and these ‘baby’ cookies, as they call them, are always a hit.

Mini things are always fun to make anyway, so I don’t mind indulging them. 😉

Why is it when something is little they’re just so much cuter!

Haha! I know! I guess that’s good for kids, though. I don’t know if mine would’ve survived otherwise… Haha. 😉

The great thing about little ‘bites’ like this is you can fool yourself into thinking you aren’t eating that much (but then you eat 100 and you can’t even fool yourself anymore lol)
