Homemade snack mix!
We also added white and dark chocolate chips. You could use peanuts, or raisins, or anything else you like to "personalize" your concoction.
Gallon size plastic bags were perfect size to shake up our mix with the added cocoa powder. Consider trying taco powder, or garlic salt for a different twist on your snack mix. Shake it up & pour into your specially decorated containers.
To decorate them we used strips of patterned scrapbook paper and glued the strips to the plastic with glue sticks. Colored paper with stickers or making your own stamped paper would be a fun option as well.
The whole project was a fast, easy way to use up leftovers & spend fun family time in the kitchen!
(It wasn't even very messy) It was a lot less expensive than buying the ready made mixes & kids are always more willing to eat food they've helped to prepare.
This snack makes a great gift for family and friends during the holidays - or any day.

Fun, I like Check Mix!
Thanks for following me! I'm following you back!
Come back next week, I'm starting my own Follow Meme Link-up called "Stalk Hop Friday"! This one is a little different from the usual, instead of just following on GFC, each week the "Follow Theme" will rotate to something different!
