As most parents know, the line between peckish kids and a hangry mob is a thin one.
Smart moms and dads (and grannies and grandads, aunts, uncles and childminders!) think ahead and stock their pantries with quick snacks to bridge the gap between homework time and dinner.
These substantial snacks are easy to make and many of them pack a nutritional punch. They are also so tasty your brood won’t even recognise they’re good for them!
Incredible Hulk dip
To us, it’s a basic guacamole. To them? It’s the source of some serious super hero powers! Mash an avocado with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of chilli flakes. Serve with TUC Bacon crackers for dunking.
Cracker Pizzas
Pop some pizza sauce on a handful of TUC crackers, top with a little cheese, a slice or two of pepperoni and some olives.
Fruity cheese and ham bites
Pop a slice of wafer-thin ham on a TUC cracker or toasted pita. Top with some cheese and a slice of fresh pear.
Easy S’mores
This simple twist on the classic American campfire treat is ready in seconds, making it ideal for busy afternoons. Arrange some TUC crackers on a baking tray, pop a Rolo on each on, warm them under the grill on medium heat until the chocolate melts – delicious! Serve them in the garden for extra adventure points.
Salty buttery crackers with sweet milk chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream-it’s a thing. A very good thing!
Cream tea
Spread a TUC cracker with Greek yogurt, add a dollop of sugar-free jam and top with some fresh berries. These are so tasty you’ll be whipping them up for the grown-ups too!
