School lunches can be boring. School days can be stressful. How to ease both? By putting some fun lunch box treats that'll brighten the day and meal. Kids will love this and that you care.
A simple treat is just a Hershey 's Kiss. They now come in a variety of flavors form the original milk to dark chocolate. There's also the milk chocolate ones with almonds as well as white chocolate birthday cake ones., cookies and creme, ones with caramel and a white chocolate and milk chocolate blend called Hugs. Buy a few bags for these and vary them in the lunch box. There are some cute mini bars from Hershey's as well that feature such classics as Mr. Goodbar loaded with nuts and Krackle. Another fun candy add in is miniature Tootsie rolls. Two or three of these can go a long way in making a memorable lunch box treat. If you want the kids to eat healthy then grapes are a fun treat that are just as sweet.Another fun I love you treat is apple slices with a small cup of caramel such as Marzetti's individual caramel cups. you can do the same with sliced pears too since they'll be in season You can also go the savory route by adding some string cheese (always a kid favorite) or a handful of pretzel sticks or pretzel twists.
If you want to really show them some love, then think about baking. Of course cookies work every time.Slice and Bakes are handy if you don;t have time to get all the ingredients or have the tie to mix and bake. Add some red or pink icing hearts on them to let the little ones know you love them.Scratch cookies are a fun weekend project that can result in treats for the week(if they're not all gobbled up first). Some recipes are very easy and only require three ingredients like a brown sugar one. You only need salted butter, brown sugar and flour . That's it. A sprinkling of cinnamon sugar can add another layer of flavor an d make them look decorative. Chocolate chip cookies are a classic and liven up any lunchbox or backpack. The recipe can be varied .Use almond flour to make them gluten free o r oatmeal for an earthier taste. Vary the chip size. One batch could have giant chips while the next could feature the mini ones. Snack cakes are another great treat that'll bring about a smile. There are so many different varieties. A square of chocolate or banana i s the perfect lunchroom dessert. You could add frosting to make even more special.
Add some love along with a sweet message or origami figure to your student's lunchbox it'll make a stressful day less stressful. It 'll make lunch tat much more interesting.
