    It’s day five of the Eats Amazing Advent Calendar, and today I have a really fun Christmas bauble snack idea to share. I came  across some clear fillable baubles recently and instantly thought how fun they would be for holding snacks (I spend a lot of time thinking about food, can you tell?!).  I put  a snack together and tried them out on my boys and they absolutely loved it, so I thought you might enjoy the idea too.

    The clear baubles are available from craft shops and online - they're made of plastic and pop apart into two halves for easy filling.  I hung ours from a mini Christmas tree as we don't have our main tree up yet, but hiding them on your Christmas tree or hanging them around the house would make a really fun Christmas treasure hunt, with healthy snacks as the prizes!

    As well as sharing the snack foods that we had ourselves in the photos, I’ve put together a quick list below of other foods that are small enough to fit inside these baubles, and if you have a look around your local supermarket, you’re bound to find plenty more.  Most are healthy, some are treats - everything in moderation as they say!
