Snack Time: Graham Bunnies and Warm Peanut Butter with Honey

Tulip is a snacker. She asks for at least two per day, so we try to keep snacks around that add value.

We really like Annie’s Homegr own products. My good friend who was supposed to share this blog with me (hint, hint) can’t wait until the new Bunny Love cereal shows up in a store near us. Tulip loves the mac ‘n’ cheese, the cheddar bunnies, but most of all the graham bunnies. I love that they don’t have any hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, trans or saturated fats and that they are a good source of calcium, but still, when it’s all said and done, they are cookies.

A few cookies in a kid’s life are a good thing, but Tulip periodically goes on protein strikes, when anything that I’ve put on her plate to provide protein is declared “poo-ey” and is given the “talk to the hand” gesture. As a result, I’m always on the lookout for a new way to make protein appealing. Here’s our latest winner:

Ingredients:

Graham Bunnies (though I’m wanting some Cinnamon ones, yummmy)
All natural peanut butter
squirt of honey
ramekin

For Tulip it’s all about the ramekin. She loves tiny bowls. They thrill her. I put the peanut butter and honey into the ramekin and nuke the mixture for 10-15 seconds to make it warm and gooey.

Edited to add: We finally had some of the cereal, and I’ve got to say I’m disappointed. The snack bunnies, both sweet and cheese varieties, are so good that I expected more of the cereal. It was alright, but nothing special.
