Yogurt Banana Split

Getting tired of the same 'ol breakfast food?  Kids want something different?  Give these Yogurt Banana Splits a try.  We came across this idea last year at our local grocery store.  They were serving something similar to these to give parents another option for a school day breakfast.  My girls love fruit and yogurt.  So, letting them put together a healthier banana split sounded like a great idea.  Since then, we have made these a standard breakfast option.  We like bananas, yogurt, strawberries, granola, and I allow a few chocolate chips to sweeten the deal.  Try them out!!  Your kids (and yourself) will love you for it!!

Ingredients:
Yogurt of your choice (we use vanilla)
Bananas
Strawberries
Granola
Chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Split the banana down the middle and lay in the bowl.
2. Top with yogurt.
3. Add other toppings of your choice.

Ingredients:
apples
nuts
chocolate chips
peanut butter

Directions:

1. Slice apples into 1/4" thick slices.  Core out the middle to remove seeds.
2. Spread peanut butter over slices and add toppings.

6th Day of Christmas - Very Merry Munch

Brought to you by:

           

On the 10th Day of Bloggy Christmas Miss Shelley Gave to me some Very Merry Munch!

Hey guys!  My name is Shelley from Piggy In Polka Dots, and I am so excited to be the guest poster for this 6th day of A Handful of Everything's 12 Bloggy Days of Christmas!  Today I want to share with you one of my very favorite party popcorn mixes to munch and to give.  Not only do I want to share the recipe with you, but I also want to share with you some super cute printable tags that I created to gift this easy to make treat  for friends, coworkers, teachers, neighbors and more!

Very Merry Munch Recipe

2 cups Rice Chex Cereal

2 cups pretzel sticks

1 bag popped WHITE popcorn (Orville Redenbacher's Tender White is perfect)

1 bag of white candy melts

Christmas sprinkles

Christmas M&M's

Click HERE to download and print the tags!

Putting this Very Merry Munch together is extremely simple.

1.  Pop your popcorn.

2.  Carefully pour into a large bowl.  Don't dump the popcorn in all at once or you will also be dumping in your unpopped kernels... you don't want to do that!

3.  Add the cereal and pretzels to the bowl.

4.  Melt and then pour candy melts into bowl all over mixture.

5.  Immediately pour mixture onto a large foil lined baking sheet and IMMEDIATELY sprinkle with M&M's and sprinkles.

6.  Let the Very Merry Munch cool and become firm, then gently break apart and store in an airtight container or package as desired.

How easy is that? You end up with a very festive treat that looks nice and tastes great too!

Well guys, that's my post!  Thank you so much for allowing me to share with you one of my favorite things to make this time of the year!  Everyone always loves it and I think you will too!

I would like to extend a special thank you to Krista for putting together this fabulous blog event!

Don't forget to come back for the Baker's Dozen Link Party on the 13th!  It is sure to be a lot of fun!

Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas,

Shelley
