You can sub with a cheaper nut butter or you can make your own almond butter.

This sounds amazing but so expensive! An entire jar of almond butter in a single cake. Last time I checked they were something like 12 dollars a jar.

Yes almond butter is quite expensive. You can make your own which is still pricey or mix in a seed butter or peanut butter, unless you have dietary or allergy restrictions.
I have mixed all kinds of seed/nut butters with excellent results. The only ones that work well by themselves are peanut or almond though.

Our go-to dessert for Shabbos is homemade jello made from grape juice. Kids are thrilled when I make it with some sort of different juice like, pomegranate acai which I found once..
My standard treats for shabbos, or taking a vitamin/supplement are:
Chocolate Chips
Good earth organic lollipops
fruit leathers
Fruit Nuggets (those little organic pieces of fruit candy)

I was able to get away with just those for years, but now my big boys (10 and 12) are rebelling, lol. In order to keep them on board, I've had to resort to buying some better junk online - organic jelly beans, marshmallows, etc. It's all dye free and HFCS free, but not "healthy" by any means. Oh well, I figure they're still better off than most kids out here who are snacking on Twizzlers and M&Ms.

I used to make jello but the unflavored/unsweetened gelatin is so expensive by me for such a small amount. Do you have a good source... online maybe?

This thread is just about treats, right? Because I have other ideas/recipes for snacks and desserts.

It so for treats but welcome snacks too

Would love your homemade jello recipe
And I second Esther s request for homemade pudding ?

Thanks everyone

My kids think cut up apples sprinkled with cinnamon is a treat.
For milchigs, you can combine plain yogurt, vanilla, orange juice, and maple syrup and freeze for creamsicles.

Other things...make caramel popcorn using maple syrup instead of corn syrup.
I've made power bars like this: http://avivahwerner.com/2009/0.....bars/ kind of like halva
Roasted nuts with cinnamon and a sweetener of your choice.
I saw this recipe yesterday and want to try it http://www.deliciousobsessions.....kies/
Homemade chocolate peanut butter cups (I know your kids don't like PB, if a different nut butter suits their fancy it may be good) http://avivahwerner.com/2010/0.....cups/
Frozen bananas whipped up

Dark Chocolate Pudding (Natural Health Magazine)

2 c. + 1/3 c. soy milk (any type will work, I use half canned coconut milk and half water)
1 tsp. grated orange zest (I skip this)
1 oz 70% dark chocolate
1/2 c. cocoa
1/2 c. sugar (I use organic evaporated cane juice)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Combine 2 cups milk, orange zest, and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat.

Mix cocoa, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Add 1/3 cup water and stir to make a paste. Whisk into milk.

Dissolve cornstarch in remaining 1/3 c milk, stir into hot (not boiling) milk. Keep stirring to avoid lumps. Cook until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in extracts. Divide into 6 bowls and chill.

Sorry, I haven't logged in for a couple days...
Yes, I buy my gelatin online from David Holzer (dh@fitgelatins.com).
There are many online recipes for making jello out of fruit juice. It's not difficult at all.

Shipping is quite expensive from that company... do you buy beef or fish? Which bloom?
The basic one they sell is 40$ a pound with shipping. Is that the one you get?

I get beef - 250 bloom. Yes, shipping is not cheap.
