Print Recipe

These easy copycat Lunchable snack boxes with pepperoni and cheese are made in under 10 minutes with simple, wholesome ingredients. Perfect for lunchboxes, road trips, and picky eaters, they’re budget-friendly and endlessly customizable.

Ingredients

  • Mini crackers (about 12–16 per box)
  • Sliced pepperoni (about 8–12 slices per box)
  • Cheddar cheese slices or cubes (about 2–3 ounces per box)
  • Optional: baby carrots, cucumber rounds, apple slices, grapes, dark chocolate chips, ranch dressing or hummus

Instructions

  1. Prep your workspace: Clear your counter and gather all ingredients. Wash any fruits or veggies you’re adding. Lay out your containers.
  2. Slice the cheese: If using a block of cheddar, cut it into slices about 1/4-inch thick, then cut those slices into squares or rectangles roughly the size of your crackers. If using pre-sliced cheese, cut each slice into quarters or halves.
  3. Portion the pepperoni: Count out 8–12 slices of pepperoni per box. If large, cut each slice in half or into quarters.
  4. Assemble the crackers: Place 12–16 mini crackers in one compartment of each container.
  5. Arrange the cheese and pepperoni: Place cheese slices in a second compartment and pepperoni in a third. Keep them separate from the crackers.
  6. Add extras: Fill any remaining compartments with baby carrots, cucumber rounds, apple slices, grapes, or a small treat. Add a tiny container of ranch or hummus if desired.
  7. Seal and store: Close the containers tightly and refrigerate if not eating within an hour. These keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

For best texture, add crackers fresh each morning if prepping multiple days ahead. Sturdy crackers like Ritz Minis or Club crackers work best. Avoid thin, fragile crackers like saltines. If crackers get soggy, add a small piece of parchment paper between crackers and other ingredients. For a lower-sodium version, use reduced-sodium crackers and turkey pepperoni.
