Fish in a pond

 Kids snacks can be healthy and fun to prepare, too. In fact, these Goldfish in the Pond snacks are one of my favorite healthy snacks for kids, because the kids can do everything themselves.

Rice cakes, cream cheese, Goldfish crackers and blue food coloring are all you need for these fun kids snacks.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:

* 1 large bunch of seedless grapes (preferably red, though green grapes work well, too)

Preparation:

1. Wash grapes and pat dry with a paper towel.

The peanut-chutney sauce can be refrigerated in a covered container for up to a week. If you like, double the recipe, and serve the extra with grilled pork or as a dipping sauce for shrimp.
