Nothing that comes to mind right now but I would also love some ideas. We use planetbox and after I put in a sandwich, pretzels, chex mix or goldfish, carrots & dip and fruit (usually strawberries) there isn't much room left for a sweet. So I buy those packages of mini oreos and nutter butters and put about 3 of those tiny cookies in there. LOL! They think they are getting a treat but it probably is less than an actual cookie.

Traci - I am not sure if I love you or hate you for starting this thread. Because of this thread:

I lost two hours of my life on Pinterest. AND

I had to run out to the store to make that smores trail mix. AND

I ate A LOT of it. It is amazing by the way.

That is all. I love all these ideas. I found one more that hasn't been mentioned and I wanted to share.....Landon is excited about this. (I bought stuff for this, the pizza muffins and the banana wrap. He is SO excited!)

Cowboy sushi

I made the Peanut Butter Cocoa Balls this afternoon and DH is in love. I'm keeping the camera ready so I can catch him but he's a sneaky lil' devil. He's had about 4 of them in 3 hours. Here's how they look:

And they are delicious, if I say so myself. Thanks for sharing the recipes.
