1. Adorable Back to School Vanilla Wafer Pencils Recipe
These are absolutely adorable and require zero baking. There are just 6 ingredients and the hardest part is cutting the tip of the cookie… which isn’t actually hard at all.
These are perfect for lunchboxes, an after school snack, or even a classroom treat. Storing them in an airtight container can have them lasting for up to a week so you can get the most out of this 10-minute recipe.
2. The Cutest Back to School Apple Pretzel Snack Recipe
Talk about adorable, these little apple pretzels are perfect for back to school. This is another no bake snack idea with simple ingredients and takes less than 15 minutes to make.
You also won’t need any special equipment to make these come to life either. We shape the fondant leaves by hand and add green food coloring to make them pop. They look so cute on a snack tray. Plus, the kids can help dip and decorate without a bunch of mess.
3. Easy, No Bake Ruler Rice Krispy Recipe
Making rice krispy treats even better? We didn’t even think that was possible, but these no-bake recipe does just that. The beauty is you don’t even have to make the rice krispy treats first if you use store-bought ones. No measuring, no oven, and simply a snack that looks like you spent hours in the kitchen. They are super easy to batch and make the perfect back to school snack or even a first day of school breakfast treat if you’re feeling generous.
