I always think it is handy to have malt loaf in the cupboard. Always goes down well!! For a change from fruit.

mine have
fruit
breasticks
biscuits
HM cakes
boxes rasins
i dont go over board cause they eat tea here.
i do have one fussy chap though who dosent seem to like anything sweet or rasins or sultanas so we tend not to have things like scones and malt loaf although thinking about it maybe i should do these and offer him an alternative like a breadstick.

We have just started making pop corn. Not sure how healthy it is, but theres no sugar or salt in it. My 2 have about half a little cup full with some sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds at the bottom.

Popcorn is a healthy snack!
