I think it would be terribly unrealistic to say that children should never have snacks – I love them, and certainly as a child it was one of the comforts that I needed!

Quite often children need a little pick-me-up when they finish school. It is a little too long to wait until supper is ready, yet lunch was hours ago. A small snack is a very welcome treat, but you want to give a little more than just a packet of sweets or a chocolate bar, not least because these will just not satisfy.

Not all of the recipes in this section are the healthiest option, but in moderation and given as a snack at the right time they certainly will not hurt. They give the right kind of energy pick-up and help to wean children off the typical packet of crisps or sticky sweets. I also feel a sense of relief knowing exactly what is in the snacks I’m giving my children.

These will all last a couple of days if stored correctly in an air-tight container, and the children can even help you make many of them – you have to let them make a mess sometimes!
