Everything is Special in an Ice Cream Cone

Here's a Healthy and Fun Toddler Snack!
When my kids want a special treat, but I don't want to break out cookies or sugary snacks, I have a secret Mommy trick...
Everything Is Special when it is served in an Ice Cream Cone!
Cereal, raisins and grapes are my kids favorites, but any small healthy treat will work.  You could try Granola, carrot matchsticks, cut up apples, those little baby food snack stars...anything small enough to fit inside the cone (that doesn't pose a choking risk to your child, of course!).
The best part is these mini cones have 0 grams of sugar...yes, ZERO!
This batch of samples barely made it through the photo shoot!
Notice the cones with the grapes were the first to disappear.
They were gobbled up in no time.
Happy 3 year old
+ Healthy snack
= Happy Mom!

  2. This is genius! I recently made icecream cone cupcakes (featured on my blog) and had some cones left over, and now my son always wants to eat ice cream cones so this is perfect :)
