Quick Snack Recipes are easy to find and make, but when it comes to looking for them, many of us resort to nothing. Sound confusing? What I mean, is that most of us resort to grabbing a bag of chips or a few cookies rather than taking the time to mix up a snack of sorts. But these quick snack recipes I've put together for you today are super easy and you can throw them together at the snap of a finger! And most of them are much more healthy and less fattening then a bag of potato chips would be. You also have the advantage of making most of these snacks in large quantities and refrigerating or storing the other half away for later. So Go ahead, get ready to feast on these quick snack recipes!
If you love cheese, this quick snack recipe is for you! It's simple-you just toss 3 cups Chex cereal, 2 cups mini pretzels and 1 cup cheese crackers with 3/4 cup grated parmesan, 1/2 stick melted butter and a pinch of garlic powder together. Spread on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes at 325 degrees F. The result is a crunchy, cheesy, yummy snack that you can munch away on!
Are you looking for a quick recipe that is as yummy as it is healthy? Try these crunchy chickpeas!

I love crackers, but especially Ritz crackers! So you can see why this quick snack recipe is at the top of my yummy list!

This recipe works great for a hot summer day or if you are just craving ice cream. It's not ice cream of course, but it's the healthy alternative. And this quick snack is very kid friendly!

I'm not much for eating bagels, but this quick snack recipe encourages me to buy some so I can give it a go! It sounds easy and delish, especially if you love cinnamon bread. My husband and I both do, so we will give this one a try for certain! Slice stale cinnamon-raisin bagels crosswise into thin rounds. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake 10 minutes at 325 degrees F; flip, brush with more butter, sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar and bake 10 more minutes. Now enjoy with a glass of milk!
Here's a snack recipe that would even work as an impromptu lunch or supper if you needed one! Halve a small loaf of Italian bread horizontally and toast under the broiler. Brush with olive oil, then top with tomato sauce, grated mozzarella, parmesan and sliced pepperoni. Broil until bubbly. Sprinkle with dried oregano. You can also you hamburger buns if you don't have Italian bread on hand! This is one snack my husband and I both LOVE and I make often!
Here's a unique sounding quick snack recipe! I haven't tried it yet, but I definitely plan to. It sounds interesting, and I always say give everything a try once! Spread peanut butter on saltines.

One of my favorite all-time go-to fast recipes is fruit and dip. I LOVE fruit and dip, and so does my husband, so we have it often! Our favorite fruits to have with this dip are pineapple, grapes, strawberries, cantaloupe and bananas.
