No thanks. There is nothing wrong with the original recipie. Its only an issue if you are having 12 a day. But to have one as a treat every now and again is no big deal. I had things like this when I was a kid and im doing fine.

I love the ingredients and think it is a great recipe to be honest. I am quite sure my kids would love this too as they love nuts and seeds. My eldest daughter who’s now 20 years old is totally into protein rich foods. She would probably want to add some protein powder.

I’d rather the kid come to class empty handed than be the one bringing ugly food in. Class parties aren’t the time to push your lifestyle. Make some fruit scones if you really want no sweetness or chocolate.

I’ve been eating a low carb diet since October to lose weight so for me these would be perfect (and I just bought a jar of tahini so I’m going to try it) but if my kids asked for chocolate crackles if make them normal ones….mmmm chocolate crackles

I wonder how they went down at the class party? A follow up would be great.

Interesting but I don’t think it can match the original.

Good on this mum. My kids would eat them and love them.

hmmm i prefer the original

All for nutrition but everything in moderation and some things really are meant to be less nutritious than other things. Stick to the original way

I’m sorry, I’ll stick with the original version. Not that I’ve had them since I was a kid, anyway.

I think they sound delicious. Good on her for coming up with a healthier alternative.

I am going to try them, my 8 year old just showed interest in pepitas after having some in trail mix! Excellent idea! Good work Mumma!

I’d be calling them party crackles and if they are sweet enough then the kids will love them, but they would certainly be aware they weren’t chocolate crackles. It is one way to get rid of the very sugar laden breakfast cereal though. Thanks for sharing.

  I agree! Plus, there is so much sugar in cereals, maybe a little honey & cacoa powder -Stevia is apparently bad for all too…who knows? Sounds delicious, I’ll definately make them & give feedback.

See the whole point is that they are treat foods. They aren’t supposed to be healthy- I’m sure she eats something unhealthy once in a while.

She has put so much effort into making something healthy hats off the patience

great for the healthy. But sometimes good old fashioned treats are just perfect for kids.

Hmm looks interesting. Not sure about the tahini but everything else could work. I might give it a go.

  You could replace the tahini with peanut butter

Gross. I can’t imagine eating tahini as a “dessert”.
Seriously, some people just need to settle down with these healthy alternatives. Let kids be kids and have a treat once in awhile. It’s not like they’re eating this stuff everyday!!!
No wonder so many kids have allergies – their bodies are deprived of different foods so when it comes time to trying it, their bodies shut down and have no idea what to do!!!

No no no just NO! These are nothing like chocolate crackles. They may be a yummy snack, are a healthy snack, but they are not choc crackles

No comparison there, totally different products so totally different flavour don’t understand how a person would think you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference
