Every afternoon around 2:30, the front door opens and closes, three faces appear in my kitchen, backpacks fall to the floor and two words ring out: “I’m hungry!!!”. No matter how full their lunch boxes were that morning, my 3 kiddos bring them back empty and claim to be practically starving upon arriving home. Having  something quick and easy, like these yummy waffle snack bites, helps fill the kids back up again so they’re ready for an afternoon of neighborhood play, extracurricular activities, and homework.

Looking for a tasty and quick snack or breakfast for your hard to please kids? These waffle snack bites are the perfect snack solution. A little mix and max so kids can create their own makes it fun and yum all at once. SunshineandHurricanes.com

Some days, our schedule doesn’t allow for creativity with our after school snacking but many days it does. Putting a new spin on an old favorite, like Eggo Waffle Minis, brings out our imaginations and lets the children foster their kitchen skills. My son’s favorite food is pizza so anytime he can make something even remotely resembling pizza, he’s a happy guy and the original inventor of this snack.

I love that these Waffle Snack Bites are something the little ones can make independently and all of us enjoy. We’ve even made them for family movie night and would be a fun addition to a sleepover or party menu, too!

Although this is technically more assembly than cooking, there are several great skills to practice with this snack prep. We start by washing a variety of fresh fruit and preparing it to top our Eggo Waffle Minis.

Waffle Snack Bites

Strawberries, bananas, grapes, and apples are always on hand at our house but you can use your family’s favorites alongside raisins, nuts, or even dried fruit to add variety.

After the fruit is ready, it’s time to place our waffles in the toaster and round up the spreads. Cream cheese, peanut butter, and chocolate hazelnut all make our top list.

Gather all your food on a platter and the fun begins!

These waffle snack bites are the answer to picky eaters. Fun to make and each kid can create their own customized snack just to their liking. Waffle Snack Bites.

Look at all these delicious combinations; the chocolate spread topped with strawberries are my absolute favorites, my daughter loves the cream cheese with grapes and apples, and my son is all about the peanut butter banana version.

From now through September 30, 2016, buy 3 participating Eggo products with Crayola packaging and get $5 off of Crayola products.  Plus, you can download a super cool activity book full of games, coloring, and more! The kids and I had a blast sitting down and working on the activity booklet, coloring and chatting about their day at school.

Be sure to get 3 of those specially marked Eggo packages at Target or anywhere Eggos are sold(I LOVE stocking up on quick, easy meal solutions, like satisfying Eggo products, breakfast is a cinch!) grab some fun Crayola products and your afternoons(or mornings) will be a breeze! The perfect combination of fueling the mind(creative activities) and body makes me feel good!

You can find more information about the $5 Crayola offer in the Target ad circular the first week of September, too.

    This is such a cute idea! You always can make chicken and waffles too! You can make healthy homemade chicken nuggets and use those waffles and then buy or make your own syrup for a sweet and savory dish!

    We have bought the Waffle Minis before, but I never thought to top them like this! This would really make them more fun to eat. Plus, adding the peanut butter and fruit makes them healthier. Totally pinning this for when my son starts school next month. This is such an easy after-school snack to remember!

    That’s a quick snack to have before, during, or after school! I really like the idea of adding your choice of toppings and because they’re little, you can add some variety to the toppings!

    Thats a really cute idea. I give my daughter the fruit on the side, but she does love the hazelnut spread on the waffles. Might as well try them all on a bite size waffle.

    This is such a genius idea. I don’t love to admit it, but I’m a HUGE fan of Eggo waffles. Like, I might like them more than homemade waffles. I have always ate mine plain or with peanut butter so this is an awesome combination for me, and I’m sure my almost 4 year old would love it too.
