Ocean week is coming to a close over here, and you know that I couldn't go out without a mermaid inspired treat. Since my daughter currently has an obsession with mini bagels, I thought it would be fun to make a sweet kid-friendly version of bagel crisps. Being as we're going for the mermaid look, I decided to swap a traditional cinnamon sugar topping with a more colorful option.

As you can see, the end result is pretty cute and surprisingly good too! I've never made my own bagel crisps before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But, they turned out perfectly crisp; just the right amount of crunch and chew together.

I did account for all of the cinnamon sugar in the nutritional information, even though I had about half of it leftover to be thrown out after making these. I used a bright blue and a bright pink colored sugar on mine, but if I had it on hand, I would have liked to have used a green in there too!

That's one of the fun things about these bagel crisps; that you can decorate them any mermaid style that your kids desire. It's also worth mentioning, that this is one of those kid-friendly easy recipes that they can help you with making.

These sweet little gems are delicious all on their own, but would also be good with a 'fruit salsa' or some sort of refreshing dip too!

Trust me, their crisp enough to hold their own against almost any sort of dip or spread that you could throw at them.
