Our neighbors are due with baby #2 in the next several weeks. They have a nearly 2 year old and mom is SAH.
I'm planning on making a batch of muffins and throwing together a snack basket. I WOH FT and this is about my limit as far as what I can make time for.
What snacks appeal to a wide crowd including BF mom and toddler?
Thanks!

Some initial ideas are: trail mix (maybe toddler friendly, no nuts?-Chex mix type?), applesauce pouches, KIND bars, jerky...

Definitely the muffins! I've been wanting healthy(ish) muffins all the time and my toddler loves them but I don't have the time or energy to bake them. Individual snack packs, like the little bags of cheddar bunnies, Annie's graham cracker bunnies, granola bars (non messy/ chocolate coated)... Great idea.

Toddler- gold fish, apple sauce pouches, yogurt, cheese sticks
Mom- kind bars or something similar that are really dense with lots of protein and chocolate, Trail mix, something fun to drink, pretzels, and maybe some fun food not so healthy food like chocolate

Granola bars ( I liked the crunchy Nature Valley ones because they were just straight oats), fig bars, chocolate oatmeal cookies (Kashi ones are good), trail mix, brownie bites.
For the toddler, fruit leather or natural fruit snacks, applesauce pouches, individual sized goldfish packets, animal crackers, boxes of raisins.

I loved the powerade zero drops while I was nursing. They are inexpensive and I SWEAR they helped with my supply. Perfect for a snack basket.

Protein bars. Veggie straw or slices chips. Juice boxes, water bottles, mothers milk (or similar tea bags, trail mix without nuts if you aren't sure about allergies. Baggies of granola / fruit cereal.

String cheese, nutrigrain type bars are better for some toddlers than granola bars, individual baggies of pirates booty, Greek yogurt pouches, shelf stable milk boxes, apples, clementines

@MrsSRS: I agree that for toddlers anything you can pre Baggie into individual servings is great.

I have been eating those new Skippy peanut butter bites like crazy. Easy to pop a handful when I need a quick snack. D loves them, too.
