Any cheese lovers out there? How many times have you binge-eaten cheese crackers from the store but still haven’t gotten enough? You can now make those delicious cheese crackers right at home.

Just grab some flour, cheese (your favorite kind!), butter, and salt. When you create a mixture with all the ingredients, shape it into small squares and put them in the oven. The great thing is you can make as many as you like and even store them for another time.

Making them yourself also gives you the freedom to choose your kind of cheese — Parmesan? Or Cheddar? You can use whichever you like!

2. S’mores

Put the s’mores in the oven for a little while and get a delicious treat in just 5 minutes. You can enjoy those toasty snacks while you are chilling on the couch or on a Friday night with your friends.

3. Potato Chips

Wouldn’t you agree that potato chips are the universal snack item everyone eats when they are bored? You’ve probably also kept a packet of potato chips at home to snack on when there’s nothing else left to eat. Well, the good news is that you can now make these at home quite easily.

The recipe is pretty effortless and simple— it’s surprising more people don’t do it. Cut thin slices of a few potatoes and cover them with oil, salt, and any other seasonings you would like. Put them in the oven and wait for the potatoes to become crispy chips.

That’s it! A recipe so easy, you can make it whenever you like and however many times you like – that’s a favorite in our book!

4. Roasted Nuts

Don’t forget, it’s not hard to have nutritious and healthy snacks! Grab all your favorite nuts and create a tasty mixture. What’s your favorite? Almonds? Cashews? Or walnuts? After you have gotten all the nuts you want, add oil and herbs and stir to create a mixture.

Leave the nuts in the oven to roast for a while until they become toasty. After you have let them cool down, enjoy the mix to your heart’s content. You can even take this handy snack with you if you are planning to travel or go on a hike.

5. Peanut Butter M&M Balls Covered with Chocolate

This easy recipe is perfect for all the sweet tooths or those who would like to create an innovative dessert at the next party. Mix peanut butter, M&Ms, and powdered sugar— Create small balls out of the mixture and freeze them for a few hours.

Next, warm up chocolate chips or your favorite chocolate bar to create the chocolate sauce. Take the balls out of the freezer, wrap them with the melted chocolate, and refrigerate them until hardened.

You will be left with delicious and sweet chocolate balls stuffed with M&Ms. This mouth-watering treat will steal the show at your next party and blow everyone’s minds – or perhaps taste buds. You can never go wrong when experimenting with sweets and candy.

6. Fruit Ice Pops

Well, we just had to add icy items to this list. Everyone craved ice cream or ice candies when they were younger (and yes, some of us still crave them even now!). The good news is, you can easily make some cold and fruity ice pops in your kitchen.

Take out your favorite fruit or fruits and blend them along with lemon juice and agave. Pour the mixture into an ice pop mold with a stick in the middle and put it in the freezer syrup. Next, pop them in the freezer overnight (yes, it’s a bit of a slower recipe).

Once they are ready, enjoy the yummy ice pops, and relive your childhood. Get those colorful tongues once again from the juicy ice pops and cool yourself down on a hot summer day

7. Watermelon Salsa

We know salsa is best known for its signature tomato and spices but a little change is great for all. Try including watermelon in the salsa instead of tomato, while adding your usual spices and ingredients.

Trust us, the juiciness of the watermelon will make you wonder why you haven’t tried this recipe before. The delicious watermelon salsa is great to eat with tortilla chips for a lazy afternoon or an evening snack. You will not want to go back to the original recipe once you try it with watermelon!
