CEU 2

Educational Webinar presented October 9, 2025

0.5 hour credited CEUs

When the school day ends and the adventure begins, Super Snack swoops in to save the day! We will walk you through the CACFP supper meal pattern requirements and show you how to create “Super Snacks” that are both creditable and kid-approved. Learn how to build balanced, colorful and exciting meals that meet guidelines and keep children energized after school.

  1. Identify required meal components, serving sizes, and creditable foods for at-risk afterschool supper under CACFP guidelines
  2. Explore fun, nutritious super snack ideas that meet CACFP meal pattern standards and appeal to children in afterschool settings.
