Sweet Chipotle Snack Mix

Ground chiles, cumin, and oregano spice up this sweet and hot nut mixture. Nuts are a protein-dense snack, and they also provide heart-healthy fats and antioxidants.

A glass storage jar with a locking lid is the perfect vessel to keep this homemade treat fresh or store individual servings in zip-top bags for quick backpack-friendly snacks.

Chocolate-Cherry Biscotti

Our Test Kitchens staffers found that using a serrated knife works best for cutting the rolls after the first bake time. If you're a fan of dried cranberries, they make a great substitute for dried cherries.

Nectarine, Prosciutto, and Arugula Bundles

Credit: Photo: Randy Mayor
These wonderful bites are a truly perfect for unexpected guests; they take all of two minutes to put together and use one of the season's best fruits. Stone fruits and pork products pair extremely well together, so you also could use plums, peaches, or apricots, with slices of ham or salami. Arugula provides crunch and bitterness to contrast the rich prosciutto and sweet fruit.

Potato Chips with Blue Cheese Dip

Credit: Photo: Randy Mayor
We're not kidding when we say these baked chips capture all the flavor of the fried kind with much less fat. Add a creamy, cheesy dressing for dipping that only tastes sinful and you've got what's quite possibly the perfect snack. If you have access to a mandoline, use it to ensure uniform paper-thin slices.

Tofu Bites

View Recipe: Tofu Bites

If you have a sweet tooth, add a teaspoon of honey after cooking for more flavor. This small amount of sugar is worth the trade—it doesn't significantly increase the calories.

Peppered Peanut Brittle

Pepper adds an unexpected bit of heat to the brittle, but you can omit it for a traditional version. To wrap, place pieces of brittle in clear food-safe cellophane bags, then tie with ribbon.

Cinnamon Crisps with Blackberries and Yogurt

View Recipe: Cinnamon Crisps with Blackberries and Yogurt

This recipe is just as tasty with fresh blueberries or strawberries. If you can't find wonton wrappers, egg roll wrappers work equally well--just cut them into 3 1/2-inch squares.
