How to Make the Snack Mix
This snack mix is quick to make and easy to package. You can combine the ingredients in a large bowl first or scoop each one separately into bags if you want more control over the look. Either way, it comes together beautifully.
What you need
- Caramel popcorn – We used the Target brand of kettle corn, and it was lovely!
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- Apple chips – Use a crunchy apple chip, like the Bare brand. The Target brand was too chewy for my liking!
- Pumpkin seeds
- Mini pretzels
- M&Ms
- Cardstock
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun or Stapler
Instructions
The process could not be easier! Because really, who has time to spend hours doing something cute, just for their kids to rip it open? This whole process takes less than 5 minutes to complete!
- Fill – Add a small handful or a tablespoon of each ingredient to a clear snack bag. OR mix a large batch in a bowl and then add the mix to as many bags as you’d like.
- Cut and Fold – After cutting out the printed tags, fold the tag on the line and place it over the top of a filled and sealed bag.
- Secure – Attach the tag with a stapler or tape and you’re done!
This mix is perfect for any fall occasion. Use it for party favors, teacher gifts, neighbor surprises, or just a fun afternoon treat for your kids. It is a small gesture with a big impact and a great way to bring a little extra warmth into someone’s day.
