I seriously have travel on the brain!  On the blog, I talk about car activities to keep my boys busy and here I am thinking about homemade snacks to keep them full!  I like to make homemade snack treats because I know what is in them and can try to keep them just tad healthier.

It’s so easy to pick up a store-bought treat or two, but when I make homemade snacks, my kids enjoy them more and I feel better too! So I’ve found 30 homemade snack recipes below that you can prepare at home! Some are salty, some are sweet, and some are even nutritious!

They’re perfect for growing appetites, hungry husbands, and even busy moms! For more fun snack ideas, check out this list of afternoon snacks kids can make for themselves!
