Healthy Back to School Sweets

Most kids crave a little something sweet to get through the school day (and let’s be honest, most adults too). It can be a struggle to find a treat that’s tasty and kid-friendly, without the gross ingredients that are in most candy bars. Does anyone really like eating food filled with ingredients you can’t even pronounce?

 With these tasty recipes it’s easier than ever to satisfy your kiddo’s sweet tooth using only clean ingredients and without the overdose of sugar. All of these recipes are vegan and can be made with our low-sugar, 90% cacao Super Blackout bar (but feel free to sub in your favorite bar if you wish)! 

 And you never know.. with these sweet snacks waiting in their lunch boxes, your little ones might actually look forward to going back to school. 😉😉
