When I was preparing to fly up to Baltimore this weekend with my toddler and 11 year old in tow, I knew I needed to be seriously organized. I asked everyone I knew for tips on how to check a car seat, a pack n play, what to bring and what to use to keep the littlest entertained. I even went back and revisited Jamie's blog about traveling with small children for tips.
This comes from Smashed Peas and Carrots. I ended up adding some maple syrup to my recipe and cutting back on the honey, just because I prefer the flavor.

- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

These were perfect to take with us on the plane - I froze them prior to throwing them in the diaper bag, and they held up well during travel. The kids loved them, and so did I. Not only are they healthier than most of what you'll find in an airport store or restaurant, they were significantly cheaper!
Have you guys tried these yet?
