I was on Showcase Minnesota yesterday making healthy kid snacks. I made Animal Crackers, Goldfish Crackers, Fruit Roll Ups and Peanut Butter Sushi. I chose to re-create pre-packaged snacks that have high fructose corn syrup and trans-fats. I still like my treats, just in a healthier way.

Thanks everyone for you support and fun ideas!
Yikes, I like Fudgecicles, but the ingredients are a bit scary: Sugar, Modified Food Starch, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Carboxymethyl Cellulose Polysorbate, Polysorbate 8, Carrageenan, Sodium Chloride, Artificial Flavor
Try these instead. Super easy and no oven needed!
2 oz cream cheese or coconut cream
1 cup chocolate (or vanilla) unsweetened almond milk
2 tsp of Swerve
3 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder
Mix all together and place in popsicle makers. OR make into soft serve ice cream with this awesome ice cream maker: Yonanas 902 Ice Cream Treat Maker. Serves 4
