Homemade Versions of Your Favorite Snacks ~ Classic Snacks Made From Scratch Cookbook

diy homemade copycat recipes
Have you ever wanted to know how to make your own Goldfish, Twinkies, Oreos, Fruit Roll-Ups or Pop Tarts from scratch? You can make all of those things and more with the new cookbook, Classic Snacks Made From Scratch by popular food blogger and author Casey Barber. I never would have thought about making my own Peeps for Easter, Klondike Bars, or even Sour Patch Kids. There are more than 70 copycat recipes in this book that covers a huge range of snack options from cookies and cakes to ice cream treats and salty snacks and so much more. It is so fun to flip through all the full color photos and recipes to see which one of these favorite brand-name treats we want to make at home.
homemade animal crackers

I had a fun time using Casey’s recipe to make homemade animal crackers with my children. We used Wilton’s mini Noah’s Ark animal cookie cutters and they turned out great! It was a good thing I had made a double recipe, because these animal crackers did not last long at our house. According to my oldest son, the homemade version of animal crackers tastes better than the kind you buy at the store. That’s a pretty high compliment to receive from my 9-year-old!

Try Casey’s homemade Oreo cookie recipe and see for yourself how much fun it can be to bake your treats at home.

    Now that the Hostess Baking Company is gone , it looks as if I can make my own hostess cupcakes and maybe twinkies and HoHos.

  16. Margot C says

    What a clever book; I would love to have one and then have a theme party with some of the recipes.

  17. Kari Flores says

    I like that I will never have to fear not ever having another twinkie in my life because I can make them myself.

  23. Connie Lee says

    I like that you can use natural ingredients and make a healthier snack than the store brand.

    Classic snacks that remind me of my youth – can’t wait to make some of this stuff, preservative-free! 🙂

    simple easy with common ingredients. I would like to make the animal crackers cookies
    just so many great recipes to pick from – add to my cookbook collection too

    I like that there is a mix of sweet and savory snack recipes and that there are separate recipes for Cheez-It type crackers and Goldfish type crackers. Many recipes for homemade cheese crackers treat the two products as interchangeable. Cheez-It and Goldfish do not have the same taste or texture.

    I love cookbooks , I collect them or I used to till I had over 500 of them and no where to put them LOL. This is one tho I would add to my collection. Homemade snacks are way better and cheaper than what I buy at the store.-Thanks

    I like that you can learn to make the klondike bars and so many great recipes for things we love

  43. Chevy Reid Roper says

    I love that it has some of the newer snacks as well as the old classics! I also like that the recipes are for delicious, preservative-free treats made with the good, old-fashioned ingredients–flour, sugar, and butter.

  45. Anne says

    There are a lot of things I like about this book, but I think my favorite thing is that the recipes are simple and most use readily available ingredients, allowing me to make homemade versions of processed snack foods.

  46. Jayme H. says

    I like that it has Sour Patch Kids recipe. So neat! Not just traditional baked desserts.

    Thanks!
