6. These are ready to eat, you can store them in the fridge, but I like to put them in a freezer bag and put them in the freezer. They make yummy cool snacks to eat. It doesn't take them long to thaw out I just grab one or two and then put them back in the freezer.






These are a great healthy snack for the kids too. Feel free to add nuts, raisins, crumbled pretzels. Depending on the size you make your bites this recipe can make up to 20-25 bites.


They work great in a lunch box too! About the time the kids are ready to eat the bites have thawed and are ready. The best part is you know that you are providing them with a healthy snack that they will actually eat!
