Is it just me or does it always seem to be a challenge to find an after school snack that both the kiddos and the parents can agree on? Or how about when the little ones beg for a sweet treat in their lunch boxes?
They would prefer to pack sugar filled cookies and candy. Or snack on chips while sitting down to do their homework after school. But we parents cringe at the very thought.
Well, I have come up with perfect sweet snacking solution that is both mom/dad and kid-approved- Chocolate Covered Raisin No-Bake Cookies! :)
Now before you blast me for making no-bake cookies, know that I was able to greatly reduce the sugar in these thanks to some help from California Raisins. Most no-bake cookie recipes I have seen have at least two cups of sugar in them!
Two cups, folks.
By adding naturally sweet California Raisins- both whole & pureed, I was able to cut the sugar needed for these delicious no-bake cookies by over half! :)
California Raisins have zero fat, no cholesterol and no added sugar. Plus, raisins offer 9% of your daily fiber and potassium, and 6% of your daily iron (per quarter cup serving).
They are the perfectly portable & healthy on-the-go snack and the perfect addition to these satisfying & tasty Chocolate Covered Raisin No-Bake Cookies...
