Sweet and Salty Trail Mix

July 17, 2012 by Erin

I absolutely love trail mix. But I have a confession… I don’t like the trail mix with dried fruit and all the “health” stuff. I know, weird, right? Well, that’s me. So when I saw a sweet and salty trail mix on Inside BruCrew Life I knew I wanted to make something similar. It looked amazing! I absolutely love Jocelyn’s blog!

You can make this with whatever you like. This is what we chose.

Sweet and Salty Trail Mix

* 1 cup M&Ms

* 1 cup mini Reeses peanut butter cups

* 1 cup pretzels

* 1 cup Teddy Grahams

* 1/2 salted peanuts

* 1/2 salted cashews

I wish I had raisins because I would have added those. I love raisins in trail mix.

My kids loved this! I thought it would be perfect to take camping with us. I know my daughter will pick out all the pretzels and my son will pick out all the M&Ms. But that still leaves me with lots of goodies!

I’m linking to the parties on my sidebar.

my kids love this

Scooter Snacks

I’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]

Part 2 of the Turkey Cookies

We had so much fun making our Turkey Cookies with Nutter Butters that we wanted to make another Thanksgiving cookie. I think this one turned out much cuter than the other Turkey Cookies! I mean seriously, look at these little guys. too cute! I used the candy eyes which are my new favorite thing to […]

Puppy Love

I think I should just rename my blog “All the ideas I steal from Family Fun”. Seriously. Because whenever we get the magazine we all look through it and say “Oh, we have to make that!” about a million times. This was no exception. We had to make this, of course. I mean really… hot […]

Firecracker Floats

I haven’t done a single thing for the 4th of July =o( Where have I been??? We typically don’t do much for the 4th, though. It’s always been one of those holidays where I’m frustrated because of all the loud noises that keep waking my kids up! Does that make me grouchy? =o( But a […]

Sloppy Joe Intestines

You’re going to think this is either gross or totally cool. Or maybe a little bit of both. Either way, it’s perfect for Halloween! And my kids thought it was totally grossly cool! Sloppy Joe Intestines! Or maybe it’s Sloppy Joe Colon. But that sounds too gross, even for me. I found the idea here […]

Racing to the Dinner Table

In keeping with our fun food theme we made these cute sloppy Joe cars. What do you think? (You didn’t miss our other fun food posts, did you? Octodogs and Shells, Aliens for dinner and our Squiddlers.) These were simple to make and will be a big hit with the kids. You will need: * […]

Witch Finger Cookies

Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]

Candy Sushi

My daughter’s pre-school class has been learning Japanese all year. It’s so cool to hear her speak and she is so proud when she comes home and tells me the new words she has learned. At the school’s Spring Fling Bar-B-Que her class sang “Jesus Loves Me” in Japanese! In Japanese!!! She’s 5 years old! […]
