🥛Milk🥜Peanuts🌰Sesame🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a peanut-free version, swap the peanut butter in the snack sauce for sunflower seed butter or skip the sauce and use melted chocolate with yogurt if dairy is okay. If avoiding dairy, choose a dairy-free yogurt and a dairy-free chocolate, while keeping the rest of the snack the same.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple green salad, cucumber sticks, or a cup of tomato soup to keep the meal light and kid-friendly. Fresh fruit or extra crunchy veggie sticks also balance the savory filling and make it feel like a fuller lunch.
