It's the end of August, and we're starting to make lists. The last lazy days of summer are upon us, and it's time to gear up for fall. Even if we graduated long ago, we're going back-to-school shopping and reorganizing our desks -- we're ready for a fresh start. As excited as we were for an endless, laid-back summer, we're looking forward to fall's routine -- and with it, the return of the after-school snack. Whether you're 9 or 29, a late-afternoon treat is always welcome. And -- thankfully -- we know just who to turn to for inspiration. 

Alice Medrich knows good snacks. Her recipes are foolproof, incredibly tasty, and most often involve chocolate. Here are 7 after-school (or after-work) snacks to look forward to every afternoon.

I agree with sugardrops, how about some sugarless snacks? Kids eat too much sugar!

My husband craves savory snacks after work and i have a sweet tooth. I keep coming up with sweet stuff and love the idea of all of these. But oh it would be fabulous if you could do a post on savory after work snacks! :)
