Growing up, Bagel Bites were always a hit with me and my siblings. I feel like they were a staple in the 90s for most families.

This Homemade version is so fun to make with my kids. They get to create their own with personalized toppings and I am happy because its a more homemade version.

With school back in session, I absolutely LOVE to have after-school-snacks for my kids. I feel like kids are so much more inclined to talk about the details of their day when its freshly right after school and while they are discussing everything over a yummy snack.

These Homemade Bagel Bites are great as party appetizers, or for lunch, dinner, snacks, you name it!
