Goldfish Puffs – Great Teen Snack

This summer my kids are 14, 17 and 20, and we are always on the go. Our favorite summer family activity is to go out in our motor boat.  We can fish, swim, tube, or just relax and read books, but everything is more fun on the water.  One thing about being out in the boat though is that we have to plan ahead and bring food, because like most teens my kids are always hungry!  Water activities like swimming make them get hungry even faster, so it is better to have something on hand to give them than to listen to them complain.  And we don’t have a lot of space on the boat, so the food needs to be something not too messy that everyone will eat.

Cheerios Snack Bars Recipe

Cheerios Snack Bars

We have lots and lots of Cheerios in the house right now, so I wanted to make a Cheerio dessert.  The Cheerios website has a whole section of recipes on it, and I modified the Banana Nut Snack Bars recipe to make these chocolate covered Cheerio Snack Bars.
