Summertime for our family means going on mini-adventures, playing outside as much as possible, and visiting family and friends both near and far. Last week we had a play date with some neighbors and wanted to bring a kid-friendly snack along. Our usual go-to is puppy chow, but with it being warm outside I thought it'd be best to switch it up so we wouldn't have one giant chocolaty mess. I decided to make this salty and sweet Kid-Friendly Trail Mix.
Kid-Friendly Trail Mix
4 cups Puffcorn, original
2 cups Bugles, original
2 cups Teddy Grahams, chocolate chip
1 cup Ritz Bits, cheese cracker sandwiches
1 cup Goldfish, cheddar
1 cup M&M's, plain
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir to evenly distribute.
For a fun red, white and blue snack this 4th of July, try Patriotic Custom M&M'S in the Trail Mix!
This is a fun, summer snack for kids, and those that are kids at heart. In fact our family has enjoyed this Kid-Friendly Trail Mix so much in the last week we are on our second batch! Our 4 year old son LP loves the Teddy Grahams in the Trail Mix, where our 2 year old daughter MP's favorite is the Puffcorn. I personally love the Bugles and My Farmer enjoys the Ritz Bitz. And you can't go wrong with Goldfish and M&Ms, right?
What would be your favorite part of this Kid-Friendly Trail Mix? Remember to Comment for a Cause!
And a big thank you to my Facebook Fans for helping me think through summer kid snacks ideas and for helping me decide what to post this week!
Kid friendly? NO! Grown up friendly! I am ready to go get all the ingredients just for me!
