For the Snackables, I used a small 8 oz, wide mouthed mason jar, filled with tahini-free hummus. I added the Simple Mills crackers to an empty individual applesauce container and twisted it to the top of the jar. This way, your kids can grab-and-go a healthy, allergen friendly snack and throw it into their lunchbox. So simple and easy!* Now, if you want to take this to the next level and go full-fledged Animal Cracker Snackables, you can choose one of your favorite animals (or all!) and go for it. Follow the ingredients list for whichever animal of your choosing to turn an after school nosh into the cutest, healthy snack.
