6. Gluten-free apple pie-flavored popcorn
Popcorn might not be the first thing that comes to mind for a class treat, but it’s one of the most universally loved snack foods. Don’t have time to pop your own? Stop by Target and pick up four or five large bags and a stack of red paper “boats” to serve it in.

7. Ice cream cone cupcakes
Surprise! These aren’t ice cream cones at all, but cupcakes baked right in the cone. For easy transport to school, dab a spot of icing on the bottom of each cone, stick in individual cups and sprinkle a few M&Ms in the cups.

8. Fruit skewers
Delightful and sweet, these fruit skewers are a smart choice. If you’ve never made fruit kabobs before, make sure you give yourself enough time. They may take longer than you think.
9. Snack mix
It doesn’t get much easier than tossing your favorite cereal in a bowl and mixing with butter, sugar and cinnamon. Make individual bags for the kids and tie on a cute tag. Easy peasy.
