An alternative to crisps?

So tonight I'm attempting to make some Roasted Red Kabocha Squash snacks, as a possible alternative to crisps from time to time.  The kids sometimes have crisps in their lunchboxes, and I thought this might be worth a try.

However, my husband has just tried one and said they would be perfect for a beer snack!  Not sure I can get away with adding that beverage to their lunchboxes.

Off to trial them on a group of friends this evening, so will let you know the verdict.

The other thing that has sneaked into the photo are some Apple-Oat Bars (another snack option).  Recipe available here: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/apple-oat-bars/

(And a final hooray!!  Waitrose appear to have at least one organic cheddar available at their cheese counter, so watch this space to find out how they react when I bring in my own box for them to put it in, rather than wrap it endlessly in plastic bags.)

UPDATE: the veg snacks went down very well on those tested, as well as the carrot hummus (with carrots for dipping :-)  Sadly the apple oat bars weren't as successfull....need to try a new recipe for that next time.
