My mom did alot of these snacks too!
Homemade popcorn- it was the best, she used oil, butter, and salt and made it over the stove
Box Pudding
Kool-aid popsicles
Goober Grape- I could go on & on about this one, it was a real treat for my sister and I back then, I still love that stuff!
Banana sandwiches
My mom was the little Debbie queen!

We did a lot of those things, but one not mentioned we always did in the wintertime. A big bowl of snow with vanilla on top. Cheapest ice cream ever!

Have you ever had graham crackers with marshmallow cream in the middle? We had those alot. My dad loved them.

This is a treat my grandma always made us.

Take crackers and put a marshmallow on it then put peanut butter on the other cracker and make a sandwich then put it in the oven long enough for the marshmallow to melt. ummmmm!!!

I haven't had these in years. I will have to go get some marshmallows.

Oh, maggie, boiled custard! YUM!

My Mom made homemade popsicles, too. Treats for us were pretty simple: Kool Aid, popsicles, smoothies in the blender, banana pudding, same as those listed here.
