Recently, I shared with you all how our family headed to Walmart to shop for our after-school snack sampling adventure. We were inspired by Smucker’s® to come up with some delicious snacks for our boys to take with them to enjoy while they wait for me to pick them up from school after I get out of work. Of course, their first choice for what types of snacks we could make was anything containing peanut butter and jelly. In our home, we love Smucker’s® products.
My boys had a great idea and told my husband and I that they wanted us to have a snack sampling adventure right at home where we make a variety of snacks and they taste them to choose their favorite. During our shopping trip to Walmart, we were able to pick up Smucker’s® jelly and JIF peanut butter and Whips. We also purchased Uncrustables and Goober spread. Having such delicious foods made it easy to come up with simple snack ideas that a Working Mom like me can make quickly and easily.
So we began our adventure by putting out all of the ingredients for our snacks including Honey Wheat bread, saltine crackers, chocolate cookies, Goober Spread, JIF Whips and grape jelly flavored Uncrustables. Nothing fancy, just good, wholesome snacks that any mom can make without much effort and that the kids will love and eat. Using these ingredients, we made Goober cracker sandwiches and dipped the chocolate cookies in the JIF Whips. I couldn’t keep our boys from eating everything as I was making it because they just loved it!
For tomorrow, the big winners were the Goober cracker sandwiches so our boys will be taking them to after-school along with a juice drink to enjoy as a snack. It’s one less thing that I have to worry about as a mom because I know they will have something they like to eat at the end of the day.
Make sure you visit Smucker’s® for other delicious snack ideas. They are sure to be as big of a hit with your family as they were with mine!

These are my kids’ favorite snacks. They can gobble this up any time of the day.
I think I should own shares in Smuckers and Wallmart with the amount of money our family spends on food and snacks. I even like the uncrustables they are great for lunches just freeze them the night before and pop in a bag it’s so good to eat at lunch time. I love the jif whips which reminds me I need to pick some Jiff whips up for a parent meeting we’re having soon. Kids love dipping things.
My two LOVE Uncrustables. As soon as I come home with a box, they tear into it an devour them all 🙂
Do you know what I love about Smuckers? All of the different flavors and textures their peanut butter comes in.
My kids loved peanut butter jelly and honey sandwiches when they were little. They also liked plain jelly sandwiches.
These are perfect after school snacks. I love those whips and my kids loved the Uncrustables.
I love those jiff whips! The PB chocolate is so good with strawberries!
Oh I love all of those snacks you chose. Anything with PB&J is a winner at our house!
Nice snacks. Everyone looks like they are enjoying themselves.
These all look so amazing. I wish we had these here. Jif left Canada years ago… but I need to get some of those uncrustables in my life! Yum.
I need to try some of those Jiff Whips for myself. They look so good and I know that the protein in the peanut butter would keep me satisfied. The peanut butter and salty caramel looks so good too. Forget the kids… 😉
Now those sound like some delicious treats, I love the sound of the uncrustables.
We love the products from Smuckers! We have 2 boxes of Uncrustables in the fridge right now!
My kids love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They would live off of them if I’d allow it.
YUM, I love Uncrustables! I remember going to a baby shower one time and that was specifically requested by the Mom to be as one of her foods.
My kids love Jif Whips. It is great on cookies. I will have to try the sandwiches. They would be great for school lunches.
My kids would love these sandwiches. I will have to grab some for my kids to try. It would make lunches a snap.
Were a fan od those uncrustables sandwiches. Easy to enjoy and no clean up!
A snack sampling adventure sounds good to me. I would like to do that here too.
