Three Duluth students made the final 52 cut in the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee’s “Super Snack Challenge” for children to suggest healthy game day snacks. There were more than 400 entries and Daijon Compere, 13, of East High School went on to the final 10 competition in Minneapolis. Elijah Harding, 11, a Lincoln Recy Middle School student, and Mar Kelle Schlosser, 14, a Marshall School student also got into the top 52. These are deceptively simple, but we suspect kid-palette tasty.

- 5 apples, cut into bits
- cinnamon to taste
- 15 popcorn

Instructions:
Mix all nuts together and cut up apples into bits. Add cinnamon to taste and then don’t mix the apples. Get something like a spoon to eat it with. I don’t like hands in my stuff.
