Healthy Lunch Box Snack – Choc Mint Fudge

Packing your children lunch every day isn’t always simple. Some days you just can’t be bothered, and other days you just don’t have enough time. It can be hard to find healthy lunchbox choices that the kids will actually enjoy eating. Packing a healthy lunch has a lot of benefits. It boosts children’s energy levels and increases their ability to concentrate during class. It also gives them key nutrients they require from a young age. Regularly packing a healthy lunch gets them into the habit of eating healthy and sets a good example.

Here is one healthy lunch box snack that I truly believe your kids will love!
