    • […] Ants on a Log is the perfect after school snack that kids can snatch up and eat. Plus, it is fun and inexpensive. I used chocolate chips for the ants since my kids don’t like raisins but you can add raisins if your kids like them. They only took a few minutes to make with the 3 simple ingredients and were gone quickly. Be sure to also check out my other kid-friendly recipes for Peanut Butter Banana Roll-Up  and Copycat Cosmic Brownies. […]
