Need Ideas for School Party/Snack

[ClingFree]

okay .. Im really lacking in imagination this year .. My daughter's birthday is coming up, and it is tradition that the birthday kid bring in a snack. I don't want to do the traditional cupcakes - last year I did ice cream cone cupcakes .. but with Valentines having just passed, I was maybe looking for something on the healthier side, but hopefully yummy enough the kids will still eat it - If anyone has ideas Id love to hear them ... Please .. and thanks in advance!

That's hard. . .almost every snack that kids would eat has sugar. What about a sugar free jello or something?

PUPPY CHOW

1 pkg.  (12-oz) chocolate chips
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 box Rice Chex
1 box Powdered Sugar
1 grocery store paper bag

In microwave, melt 1/2 pkg chocolate chips, 1/4 margarine, 1/2 cup peanut
butter for 1 minute.  Stir, then cook for 20-30 seconds.  Stir.  In a large
bowl, pour 1/2 box Rice Chex.  Pour chocolate mixture on top and stir until
well coated.  Pour 1/2 box powdered sugar in bottom of paper bag.  Dump chex
mix on top.  Shake and shake until well coated.  As you can see I halved the
recipe because mixing all once is a pain. Repeat with the other half of the
ingredients

Whenever my son has a class party, all the adults sign up to buy one thing for a meat/cheese platter-I bought the ham last time, but others buy different cheeses, crackers and lunch meats. I don't know where u live, but if i was going to buy something for a class party, I would maybe get pizza rolls, or yogurt covered pretzels, or heck for my son's home party it's Little Caesar's $5 Hot-n-Ready for me!!!! LOL
