This past weekend, we were blessed with a visit from my boyfriend’s little nephew. At just a 1-1/2 years old, he hadn’t been back to our house since he started walking, babbling sweet toddler speak and exploring… everything! And with all that excitement, he undoubtedly built up quite the healthy appetite, and I felt that our snack options simply weren’t up to par.
Currently, the only baby in our house is of the four-legged, furry variety, so we missed the memo on the world of creative, nutrious and most importantly, yummy snacks for toddlers! Luckily, we’ll get to see him again this summer, and I fully plan to whip up a few of these tasty toddler treats for our little house guest then!
Graham Cracker “Cheesecakes”
While these cinnamon graham cracker “cheesecakes” will satisfy your little one’s sweet tooth, don’t be surprised if you find yourself enjoying a snack too!
