Lunch Box Snacks - Cream Cheese Puffs
This post is the first in a new addition to this blog - lunch box snacks. As a parent, I know that I struggle with putting different snacks in my kid’s lunch box. I hate buying a bunch of processed snacks at the store, but most homemade items I make don’t fare well in a lunch box after he’s sat on, smashed, threw around and basically put his lunchbox through a MMA fight before lunchtime. I’m going to try and post a lunch box worthy snack once a week. This week’s snack is cream cheese puffs. Easy to make, eat and take to school.
Cream Cheese Puffs:
1/2 C. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 C. melted butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tube biscuits
1 pkg. cream cheese - cubed
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Combine vanilla and butter in a separate bowl. Separate biscuits and press into a 3-in circle. Dip cream cheese cubes in butter/vanilla mixture and then into sugar mixture. Place cubes in center of biscuit and fold over and seal. Shape into balls. Dip biscuit balls in butter mixture and then sugar. Place in greased muffin cups, seam side down. Bake for 14-18 min. at 375*.
Place these in a plastic container in their lunch box for their lunch dessert. Enjoy!
