Granola Apple Moons – {Kiddie Snack}

Warning.

Just cause you make this for your kid doesn’t mean you won’t eat most of them.

Warning.

This has that killer combo. You know, that PB & chocolate combo that no one can turn down.

Warning.

The fact that these contain fruit, plus that killer combo I just mentioned makes you wanna eat more.  Because it doesn’t count if it has fruit… right?

I have something very simple, yet incredibly delicious for you today.  These Granola Apple Moons are the perfect snack for kids of all ages. I have to say ‘kids of all ages’ to justify eating most of them.

These are even a great snack for your kids to help put together.  It may be a little messy, but I bet they have fun doing it 🙂

Here’s everything you need:

Step I.

Step II.

Step III.

Step IV.

Try to leave at least one slice for your kid 😉

You can bet I’ll be making these for the next play date I host.  I’m not sure these will top the Nutella Cream Soda, but it’ll be close 🙂

    Your daughter better appreciate you when she grows up! As always, these look great.

    Also, is there anything that can top that Nutella soda? That creation was pure genius.

    Definitely a killer combo! Jay was just standing behind me and he said “that looks so good”! I guess I will be doing this…that means I have to share apples!

    What perfect timing for this post. I just made homemade granola and I’m hosting a play date tomorrow! Does M have trouble with the skins of the apple? I always peel the skin but maybe I don’t need to anymore. (My little one is 27 months)

    YUUUUUUUUM. Never thought to add any toppings to my pb apples. Love that plate ;D

    Now I know what I’m having for a snack when I finish work. Thanks.

    HI Maryea,

    It depends on the day. Sometimes she eats the apple skins, sometimes she doesn’t. With this snack she normally eats the skins.

    Let me know how the kids like them 🙂
