New backpacks. Sharpened pencils. Alarm clocks ringing too early. It’s that time again—back-to-school season, full of excitement, routine, and yes, the eternal lunchbox puzzle.
Between math homework and messy glue sticks, every child deserves a moment of sweetness in their day. And every parent deserves peace of mind knowing that treat is more than just sugar—it’s thoughtful, balanced, and travel-proof. That’s where smart snacking comes in.
At tinykeks, we believe the best snacks are ones that spark delight and hold up to a ride in a lunchbox. Our small-batch cookies, handcrafted in St. Louis and inspired by European tradition, do exactly that. Today we’re spotlighting one cookie that’s become a quiet hero for busy school days: Memme, our roasted hazelnut butter cookie.
What Is Smart Snacking, Anyway?
It’s a little phrase with big meaning. Smart snacking is about making choices that feel good—physically, emotionally, and even nostalgically. It’s about snacks that are:
- Portionable – Easy to pack and just the right size for a midday break.
- Comforting – Gentle on little stomachs and full of real, familiar flavors.
- Wholesome-ish – Made with care, not chemicals. A treat with roots in something real.
- Built to last – Cookies that don’t crumble when jostled between books and juice boxes.
Smart snacks aren’t about restriction. They’re about choosing small joys with staying power.
Meet Memme: A Smart Snack with Soul
There’s something beautifully timeless about Memme. It’s the kind of cookie your grandmother might have made on a rainy Tuesday—rich, nutty, tender around the edges, and just crisp enough on top.
Infused with roasted hazelnuts and butter, Memme has a bold, toasty flavor that feels a little grown-up but still utterly snackable for kids. There’s no glaze, no filling, no frills—just a beautifully balanced cookie that holds its shape, its charm, and its crumb.
Why it’s perfect for smart snacking:
- Heat-resistant: No melting, no fuss.
- Durable texture: Doesn’t crumble in lunchboxes or backpacks.
- Flavor complexity: Encourages slow, satisfying snacking—not a sugar rush.
- Minimal ingredients: Just the good stuff—no preservatives, no nonsense.
Plus, Memme feels a little special. Like something you’d want to share… but probably won’t.
Lunchbox Ideas Featuring Memme
Need help building a smart snack moment around this tiny wonder? Try pairing Memme with:
- Apple slices and cheddar cheese – sweet, crisp, and savory all at once.
- Dried apricots and almonds – for an extra nutty pairing.
- Plain yogurt with cinnamon – dip Memme like a biscuit for a creamy contrast.
- A small thermos of warm milk or herbal tea – for kids who love comfort sips with their treat.
Or just pop one (or two) in a wax pouch with a love note—they travel well and say a lot without saying much.
Sweet Nostalgia Meets Practical Parenting
One of the secret joys of back-to-school is rediscovering small rituals: the lunch you pack while the house is still quiet, the cookie your child saves for last, the familiar smell of roasted hazelnut that greets them when they unzip their bag.
Memme fits beautifully into those moments. It’s not loud or flashy—it’s quietly wonderful. That’s the heart of smart snacking: choosing joy that fits the rhythm of real life.
Kids notice more than we think. The color of their lunch napkin. The tiny surprise you tucked in their pencil pouch. The way one cookie smells like Sunday mornings from last fall. Memme isn’t just a snack—it becomes a familiar thread in the pattern of their school year. A treat that says, you’ve got this even when the spelling test says otherwise.
And as the weeks unfold, those small rituals become anchors. The cookie they nibble while recounting playground dramas. The one they trade only with their favorite friend. Or the one they save to share with you, because some things are just better eaten together.

Final Crumb
Back-to-school doesn’t have to mean back to bland.
Because sometimes, smart snacking isn’t just about nutrition or convenience—it’s about creating little touchpoints of connection. A familiar flavor that says “I’m thinking of you,” even when you’re not there to say it out loud.
With a little planning—and a cookie or two—snack time can become a bright, dependable pause in the chaos of busy days. That’s the magic of smart snacking: choosing cookies that nourish the spirit as much as the stomach.
