Need an easy snack idea for the kiddos? It can’t get any easier than these No-Bake Granola Balls!
They are the perfect size for kids to snack on and it is good for them!
“MOM, I’m Hungry. MOM, I’m Starving.” I hear these phrases several times a day lately.
I have a growing boy on my hands. Trying to decide what to give him for a snack can be interesting.
Sometimes he wants fruit and other times he wants junk food. I have been trying to limit the amount of junk food we have so when I heard about No-Bake Granola Balls, I had to try these out.
I made ours with dark chocolate chips. A great way to get your chocolate fix without overdoing it.
These are the perfect blend of sweetness and granola. These make the perfect snack to chase away the hunger.
The best part about these granola balls, they are SUPER easy to make! Basically, mix all your ingredients together.
Chill, and form into balls. Easy Peasy! With 2 boys, these are perfect. I can get them done quickly.
The best part about these, the kids have no idea how healthy these snacks are. Trust me, your kids will love them.

These look so good! What a great healthy snack idea! I love all the ingredients you added in there, I really need to give this a try sometime. I use oats in a lot of things, and love this quick snack idea! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Nikki Frank-Hamilton says
These look incredible! But even better, as long as I find gluten free oats this is a snack that I can have too. I am always looking for snacks that I can take with me as it is not easy to find gluten free snacks on the go! Pinning!
