Packing Homemade School Snacks:
Storage and Freezing: All of the recipe linked in this article will have instructions for storing and freezing the homemade school snacks. If you are making a big batch of something to have in the freezer, I find it best to individually wrap the muffin or bar in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. Make sure to label the snacks with the contents and date.
Temperature: Most of these recipes will be fine at room temperature for the day. Unless it is super hot out (especially if there are any chocolate chips), muffins, cookies, etc. are safe to store in a bag or container in a backpack or lunch bag. If you are packing snacks or other foods that you’d like to keep chilled, using a separate bag with an ice pack is a great option or use a freezable bag.
Containers: I often pack these homemade snacks in my kids’ lunch boxes as a homemade treat or addition to lunch. However, if I am packing the snacks to be eaten at snack time or after school, sometimes a reusable sandwich bag or plastic bag can be ok. If I pack a muffin or something more delicate, then I would consider using a plastic container or something that can’t be easily squished. Do your kids throw their backpacks around like mine do? There are some smaller bento boxes on Amazon that would be great for packing snacks.
