This cute kids chocolate starfish snack requires no baking and is made with healthy ingredients. It’s a fun and easy activity to do with kids in the kitchen.
Hey guys!
It’s Abeer here from Cakewiz.com and today, I am sharing these adorable starfish snacks for kids.
If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen me, making these with my little munchkin and having a blast!
There were sprinkles everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE! lol.
He starts preschool again in a few days and has already requested these for an after school snack on his first day…hehe 🙂
Anyways, these starfish bites are really easy to make.
All you need to do is prepare your favorite homemade granola bar mixture and then use a star shaped cutter to cut out little starfish pieces.
Dip them in melted chocolate, toss a few sprinkles, add some facial features to give them some sass and style and VOILA! This recipe is almost as fun and easy as this Edible Playdough.
Can Granola Bars Go Bad?
- Properly stored, a package of granola bars will generally stay at best quality for about 6 to 8 months.
Can You Freeze Granola?
Granola can be stored in an airtight container, in a cool, dry spot for six months (sometimes longer).
You can also freeze granola and granola bars just as you would cookies or other treats — wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and/or in resealable freezer bag.
If you want to keep these granola bites on the healthier side, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate and replace sprinkles with shredded coconut.
Or perhaps just cover them in crushed graham crackers or even coarsely chopped nuts…

Before the chocolate has a chance to set, toss some sprinkles and stick the eyes, bow and mouth.

Thanks!
What a great recipe! Me and my wife both made eachother chocolate starfishes and ate eachother out. 11/10 would recommend.
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!! Thank you for taking time to leave us a comment!
Maybe a different name would suit this better, considering a chocolate starfish is a term for butthole.
Hi Laurel. All the sprinkles used in these starfishes are from the Wilton brand. Some are seasonal. I just buy them whenever I see them at Party City…heheh.
Where did you get the bow sprinkles? What brand? So cute. Thank you
