Cucumber Bites – easy after school snack

I have another fun and easy after school snack idea for you – cucumber bites!

Several of my kids just love cucumbers, so they were very excited about helping me with this after school snack. It is healthy and oh so cute! It would also be a very easy appetizer to make at your next gathering.

Make sure you check out our other frugal and fun after school snacks. 

Easy ingredients:

• 8 oz Sour Cream
• 1/2 packet Ranch Dressing Mix – or homemade
• 6 Cucumbers
• 30 Carrot Sticks
• 30 Celery Sticks

How to make Cucumber bites

1. Mix together sour cream and ranch dip and set aside.
2. Wash cucumbers and, using a peeler, make stripes on cucumbers.
3. Cut cucumbers into 1 1/2″ slices.
4. Use a melon baller to scoop out center of each to make a cup.
   
5. Fill with dip and insert a carrot and a celery stick. (Yield 30 servings)

Aren’t these just adorable?? Our kids just think they are super cute and you could change this up completely. You could use a different flavor of dip, or you could use different veggies instead of the carrot and celery. Take this simple recipe and make it your own. I think you will love it.
