Snack ideas for a kid's birthday party should be simple and fun. You most likely will not be serving the birthday cake right away, and the partygoers may get hungry. If they don't have anything to snack on, they may not have a good time. A few munchies can help make the party a success. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Traffic Light Crackers
Traffic light crackers are easy to make and kids go crazy for them. Break large graham crackers into four pieces along the crackers' perforated lines. Spread some peanut butter on each cracker. Arrange the crackers vertically on a platter. Place a red M&M or Skittle at the top of each cracker, a yellow candy in the middle and a green one at the bottom. You now have what looks like a traffic light. Set out a platter full of these snacks so that the children can grab one when they are hungry.
Caramel Apples
Caramel apples are a great snack to serve because they take very little time to prepare and use only two ingredients. Purchase six apples and a jar of caramel ice cream topping. Wash and slice the apples. Pour the caramel topping into a small bowl, place the bowl on a platter and arrange the apple slices around it. Children can grab an apple slice and dip it in to the caramel whenever they get hungry.
Cereal Party Mix
Cereal party mixes are easy to make, and you can add different ingredients each time you make a batch. This recipe that uses a few different types of cereal: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of Corn Chex, 2 cups of Cheerios and 2 cups of Frosted Mini Wheats. Add 8 ozs. of raisins and 8 ozs. of salted peanuts. Mix the ingredients together and set out for the kids to snack on. Or, fill small plastic zipper bags with the snack, so that children can eat the party mix like they do a bag of potato chips.
