The four-ingredient snack that lives in your freezer all term
If you’ve ever hit that familiar wall at around 11am — or again mid-afternoon — you’ll know the feeling. You don’t want a full meal, but you do want something comforting to go with a cup of tea. Something small, satisfying, and just indulgent enough to get you through to lunch or dinner.
That’s exactly where coco snazzles come in.
This week, Tara Penny shares one of her go-to mom hacks: a no-fuss snack that comes together in minutes, lives happily in the freezer for up to three months, and actually gets eaten when packed into school lunchboxes.
Why Coco Snazzles work
They tick all the boxes:
▪️Quick to make
▪️Freezer-friendly
▪️Naturally sweet
▪️Lunchbox-approved
▪️Perfect for tea time cravings
And best of all? You only need four ingredients.
What you’ll need
▪️Dates – about four, chopped (for natural sweetness and stickiness)
▪️Roasted seeds – any mix you like (great for healthy fats and crunch)
▪️Desiccated coconut – divided (some for mixing, some for rolling)
▪️Peanut butter – crunchy works beautifully; no added sugar if that’s your preference
How to make Coco Snazzles
▪️Add around four tablespoons of peanut butter to a bowl. Be generous — this is what binds everything together.
▪️Mix in the chopped dates and roasted seeds.
▪️Add about half the desiccated coconut to the mixture, keeping the rest aside for coating.
▪️Stir well until everything is evenly combined. A little elbow grease helps, but it comes together quickly.
▪️Roll the mixture into small balls (or bigger ones if you prefer).
▪️Roll each ball in the remaining coconut to coat.
That’s it.
How to serve (and store)
You can eat coco snazzles immediately, but they’re especially good after a stint in the fridge or freezer. In the freezer, they take on a slightly firmer, almost ice-cream-like texture — which makes them feel like a treat rather than a “healthy snack”.
They’ll keep frozen for up to three months, making them ideal for batch prep on a busy week.
Because these are soft, naturally sweet, and not overly messy, they’re perfect for school lunchboxes — especially for kids who tend to skip their snacks at break time.
Simple, practical, and comforting — exactly the kind of small win that makes busy days easier.
