A Late Night Snack... Yum!

One of my new favorite snacks is a semi healthy type of snack... I at least like to think it can be healthy that way when I eat a million of them, I don't feel guilty!

Ok so here it is:

Strawberries 

Icing

Crushed Graham Crackers

What to do:

Take the strawberry and cut the top off (the green part). But cut in a circle so that it creates a little hole. Then take the icing, just a little, and fill the hole with the icing and then sprinkle the crushed graham crackers on top! 

It tastes like a little cheesecake.. but with a real strawberry! It makes for a nice little late night snack when you don't want to feel really heavy right before bed with something sweet. Plus, you get the real fruit part of it as well! Which is always a nice little bonus. Hope you enjoy!!
