Peanut Butter Cup Snack Mix

January 4, 2022 Amanda Plott

Back to school with the kiddo today after the two weeks off for the holidays. And going back to school always means a tighter schedule so it’s always nice to have snacks on hand. This Peanut Butter Cup Snack Mix is one that the whole family can enjoy. There’s a little bit of sweet and a little bit of salty in there, along with varying textures of soft and crunchy; all things that I love about a good snack mix.

One of my favorite things about this Peanut Butter Cup Snack Mix is that it stays good and is shelf stable for a good long time. It would happily sit on the shelf for a good week or two without changing at all, and maybe for even longer than that…

Buffalo Ranch Chex Mix

If you like standard Chex snack mix, you’ll love this spicy buffalo version even more. How do I know? My mom makes traditional Chex mix around the holidays every year, and this year is no different. But, when I made this Buffalo Ranch Chex Mix she immediately said I would need to make more and wanted to know if she could have the recipe.

There’s a whole lot of good stuff in this mix. Cereal, cheese wisps, pretzels, nuts, and a whole lot of flavor. This Chex mix is probably my new favorite. Cheesy and just spicy enough to keep you coming back for more with that delicious hotting inspired taste…

Kid-Friendly Spring Snack Mix

Spring is in the air. And do you know how I can tell? Allergies! I don’t know about the rest of the planet, but right here, right now, it’s allergy chaos. Never mind that Austin has been engulfed with what is now going on three WAVES of the flu. Just a couple of weeks ago, my daughter’s whole third grade class was pretty thin. Some out for allergies. Others out with a virus. Thank goodness the little babes are in a little bit better spirits this week.

Every year they have a fun book party to celebrate reading a certain amount of ‘crown books’. This year the request from the librarian was for Spring themed eats and treats. So, I was put to the task of whipping up a delicious Spring snack mix after a few of the parents got a peak of my Camp Out Trail Mix from a while back…

I Love You Beary Munch (Trail Mix)

My little girl has become a little finicky with her eating habits lately. It must be a trend common among 3-4 year olds. Truth be told, she's always been more of a snacker than one to sit down and eat full on meals. Thankfully, that's actually a good and healthy habit to get into! You just have to be sure that the things you are snacking on are good for you.

Lately, I've fallen into a bit of a slump with her snacking. So... I thought I'd try something new, fun, and exciting!...
