One of the best smells of the year is the smell of the baked goodies you’re going to make when Christmas comes around. But since most of these treats will probably contain huge amounts of sugar, butter, and other such ingredients that can damage your children’s young and undeveloped bodies, finding healthier snacks you can give them becomes a priority. Although grandma’s delicious molasses crackles might be a family tradition, your kids will definitely appreciate a change in this holiday routine, especially if it comes with tastier flavors they’ll enjoy.

 

1. Popcorn Brittle
By replacing the nuts in the brittle with popcorn, you’ll manage to substantially reduce the amount of fat contained in this super tasty treat, and also obtain a wonderful hybrid kids will fall in love with – part-caramel, part-brittle. While the popcorn is very little salty, the brittle will be sweet, crunchy, and soft, therefore making this snack not only healthy, but also delightful. Want a tip? You should better make sure to keep your children out of the kitchen when making the mixture, as they’ll certainly want to dip their fingers in this creamy caramel delight. If you want, you can beautifully decorate your Christmas table with this popcorn brittle as well, especially if you make sure to layer two or three pieces, and wrap them with a colorful ribbon

3. Peanut Butter Pie

This peanut butter pie tastes very much like peanut and chocolate bars, but it has fewer calories, not to mention that it’s not as fatty or abundant in sugar as your average holiday pie. If your children don’t like the taste of pumpkin, then you can still give them another extremely healthy snack to enjoy on Christmas.
