Creamy Peanut Towers

These are perfect for potlucks, get togethers, or as snacks for the kids. Everyone loves them! You may want to quadruple the recipe. Use toothpicks to keep the creamy towers from tumbling.

Crispy Corn and Rice Treats

Sweeten crispy corn and rice cereal with a chocolate and peanut butter mixture, then coat it all with powdered sugar! It's a great Saturday night snack the whole family will love!

By HOLMEN

I've made this quick and colorful appetizer for many great dinner parties. Serve with fresh salsa, guacamole or sour cream as dipping sauces--or by itself. Works great on a large scale as well. Thawed and drained frozen veggies may be substituted for canned. Look for the combination of corn, red pepper and black beans in the grocery store's frozen food section.

Apple Cheese Pizza

Easiest pizza, with fresh apple as a different taste than normal.

Homemade Tater Tots®

Never have to buy frozen store bought Tater Tots® anymore. This will be a good, more healthy recipe for kids and adults to remember their childhood favorite. Frozen-friendly! Serve immediately, garnished with parsley. Dip the tots in our famous Divine Kuizine Remoulade sauce.

Fried Flour Tortilla Chips

We first had these while on vacation in the Caribbean. After returning, I had to figure out how to make them. We now prefer these to store-bought corn tortilla chips.

By Carole

Healthy Chocolate Smoothie

The sweetness of the bananas in this smoothie means you don't need to add any sugar to sweeten the cocoa. This is my go-to for a midday energy boost and kids love it too.

By Chaya

Tahini-free hummus that only takes minutes, and is a favorite with my kids.

The garlic olive oil is the secret here. Try to find garlic-infused olive oil; I found it at a local olive oil producer.

By Lorie

Fried Sweet Bananas

A very traditional breakfast or dessert in northeast Brazil, bananas or plantains are fried in butter and coated with cinnamon-sugar. Delicious with vanilla ice cream too.

By Nandabear

Sweet potato chips never get crispy enough for me in the oven, but this microwaved version works like a charm!

Deep Dish Cookie in a Mug

This is a great after-school snack. Feel free to add nuts or other things instead of chocolate chips.

By EmThePuppyLover

Bacon Apples

I cooked apples that I stuffed with brown sugar and cinnamon over a campfire as a dessert for my family when we went camping. In the morning we had bacon with our breakfasts and the kids marinated the bacon in the leftover apples! The bacon was good but we ate the apples after and they where surprisingly good!

By Tracey4840

Healthy Peanut Butter Fruit Dip

A healthier, lower-fat and lower-calorie version of peanut butter fruit dip. Great with crisp apples! Use soon after prep, especially if using flax or chia seeds.

By sonispencer

Snow Cream

Fresh snow turned ice cream in 5 minutes or less! Fun to do with kids. The toppings/mix-in options are endless. Fresh fruit is a great mix in for snow cream, as well as chocolate chips.

By sparrow

Butter Toffee Popcorn

This popcorn is a crowd pleaser! It has the sweet and salty taste that everybody loves and is much easier than caramel corn. No one can turn down this great snack!

By Kaitlyn

Easy Cheesy Hot Dog Crescent Rolls

These are so easy for an after-school snack or kid's birthday parties. Try it the original Cheddar way or with the cream cheese option (see below). Serve with dipping condiments, if desired.

By Travelgoddess

Waffle Pizzas

Pizza made in the waffle iron! It's so fun to make and perfect for a busy weeknight or quick snack. I use pre-made pizza dough but your favorite homemade recipe will work just fine. Add more cheese and pepperoni if you like, it's a very versatile recipe (plus the crispy, cheesy bits are my favorite). Serve with more pizza sauce for dipping. I hope you enjoy it!

By TheWickedNoodle

"Doritos®" Popcorn

Do you like Doritos®? You'll looooove this healthy popcorn alternative!

By Shawn Harquail

Baked Mexican Chips on a Stick

Forget about ripping open a bag of potato chips and make your own healthier baked potato chips on a stick. These chips have a subtle Mexican flavor, but get creative and use different seasonings that you like. Once you get used to threading the potato spirals onto skewers, these are not only fun, but easy!
