Now that school has started back I want to sharesome ideas about some after school snacks and let's all share our ideas. One of my new favorites is:

Chocolate/P-nut Butter Frozen Banana Popsicles
MAKES 6

3 Bananas
3/4 cup of chocolate chips
1 tbsp. real butter
2 tbsp. p-nut butter

Peel bananas and cut into half place each half on a wooden stick (I used bamboo skewers cut in half) and lay them on a plate or small cookie sheet covered with saran wrap and freeze 2 hours do not allow them to touch. Place the ch. chips, butter and p-nut butter into a small high ball glass and microwave until melted, remove from microwave and stir until well mixed. Place each banana into chocolate to cover completely if needed use a kitchen knife to frost the entire banana half. Lay back onto saran wrap and pop into the freezer just until chocolate is set (this only takes a few minutes, get out 6 baggies and wrap each banana pop individually. If you have 1 child this will be a after school treat for the enitre week and 1 for Mom or Dad to sample:)

These are SO easy and fun for the kids to help make!!!

What would be some good "make ahead" snacks that the kids could enjoy the whole week? And easy recipes that don't require alot of prep time?
