Thai Chili Meatballs
Having a large family we eat a lot of snacks. Rather than allow my kids to fill up on less than healthy options, I like to offer more substantial snacks that are sure to satisfy their growing appetites. I’m sharing one of my all-time favourite snacks, Sweet Thai Chili Meatballs. Now it’s confession time, these were very hard to stop eating.

I am pinning this for sure! Your posts have been making my tummy rumble and getting me anxious to make them myself in the kitchen 🙂 They look delicious!
these look really good. My kids love meatballs. A fun way to introduce them to different flavours

Mmm, I love chili and I love meatballs! Yet again a scrumptious recipe! You’re an exquisite cook Stacey 🙂 Bookmarked & pinned!
This looks delicious. I think it will have to become a staple in my house. The kids are going to love it.
Silly question, but do you mean jelled cranberry sauce in a can, like people serve at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Or is there an actual cranberry jelly that you would use on bread?
Not silly at all. It’s jellied cranberries that you serve from a can at Christmas. 🙂
By the way…they sound awesome and I will be making them soon!!
Love your posts. Every Success!
Thanks so much Rosie!! 🙂
