Fall is great, isn’t it? FamilyFun Magazine has some healthy, fun snack ideas that are perfect for celebrating the fall fun. Hopefully you’ll find them as adorable as I did and put them in your fall plans.
Banana Cupcakes
Ingredients
Bananas
Peanut butter
Blueberries
Coconut
Directions
1. Use a piping bag and round decorating tip (or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off) to pipe a swirl of peanut butter on a 1-inch thick slice of banana.
2. Top with fresh berries, shredded coconut, or other healthy favorites.
Whooo’s hungry owl crackers
Ingredients
Round crackers
Mini round crackers
Cream cheese
Almonds
Raisins
Directions
1. Spread a layer of plain cream cheese on a round cracker, using the tip of the spreader to make small indents for feathers.
2. Press on a pair of mini round cracker eyes (we pulled apart a Ritz Bits sandwich and used a half for each eye) and attach raisin pupils with a dab of cream cheese.
3. Finish by pressing on an almond beak and almond-slice feathers.
Color-Me-Sweet cupcakes
Ingredients
Your favorite cupcakes!
Directions
Once your cupcakes have cooled, frost them with four or five shades of tinted frosting (for intense tones like those shown, use paste food coloring).
To make the serving platter, use a craft knife to cut a palette shape from a sheet of cardboard or foam board. Paint it brown and let it dry before using it.
