An Aussie mum shared her hack for making 192 kid snacks for just $12.30.

Louise, a mum and home baker, posted on the popular Facebook page Budget Friendly Meals Australia and shared how she makes mini muffins and chocolate chip biscuits for her kids.

The 192 snacks are made using ALDI blueberry muffin mix, which costs $4 for two packets and she makes 32 mini muffins with them.

Louise then cleverly uses vanilla cake mix, margarine and chocolate chips to make the whopping 160 kids-sized cookies for her kids.

She puts them into individual snack bags, ready for her kids’ lunches and snack times.

“I get 32 kids size muffins and I make 160 kids size choc chip cookies and I bag them into packs of three,” Louise told the Budget Friendly Meals Australia page.

“That’s 85 snack bags in total, total cost $12.30 – or 14 cents per snack.”

You can find her recipe for the cookies below.
