: Crunchy Snacks for Kids
Categories: Kids, Snacks
Servings: 6

1/2 c (8 tbsp) honey
1/2 c Margarine
6 c POPPED popcorn
1 c Shelled peants

From: Vicki Lansky's CANDY book

COOKIE JAR

Have you thought of putting crackers in your cookie jar? They are made with
less sugar and you can choose a low salt variety. You can fill a cookie jar
with peanuts-in-th-shell or roasted no-salt nuts. Or keep on hand a jar of
nuts and raisins with a few chocolate chips thrown in (aka "gorp").

POPCORN

Try sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese or American cheese on popcorn. Or,
mix with peanuts, or cinnamon.

Package extra popcorn in small plastic bags with twist ties - excellent for
an out-of-doors treat, car ride (Donna's note: UGH!) or TV special snack.
(Donna's note: lunch boxes!)

HONEY "CRACKER JACKS"

Heat honey and butter in a saucepan until blended. Cool. Pour over popcorn
which has been mixed with peanuts, stirring as you pour. When well-coated,
spread in a pan in a single layer. Bake at 350 for 5 - 10 minutes or until
crisp, stirring several times. The difference between crisp (not brown) and
burnt can be a matter of minutes. Package in plastic bags and twist tie. If
you want it to be mistaken for the "real thing", add a small toy.
