My favorite snack mixes to prepare are simple ones made with odds and ends. They clean out your pantry while making room for fresh items you need. These rip open bags that dump an go are just the right answer to ,”mom I am hungry”, during a movie or “honey bring me something to snack on and a beer”, during the big game. They are also great for those times you forgot the card game or Bunco is at YOUR house tonight. They don’t even require a bowl if you portion them out in a ziplock bag or lidded container. Sweet and salty mixes are great as you add whatever you want. I have a few here on the blog for suggestions other than this Peanut Butter one. Don’t worry as none of them require a wet wash cloth or powder sugar to ruin the mood. #peanutbutter #snacks #healthy #gf #vegan

February 5, 2017 at 8:00 AMLooks delicious! I haven’t made a snack mix in a while, but your reminder that you can customize them has got me thinking. I bet I can make one that includes a bunch of items my toddler loves!
