In day 310, I introduced the idea of quick “goody gifts” that families could make together, starting with snack mixes in bags. The beauty of these snack mixes is that they can be whipped up in large quantities fairly easily—and kids can definitely help bag them, either in small bags for individual gifts (we have done this for our students!) or large bags or tins for family gifts.
I will share four snack mixes—two sweet and two salty. Also, two super easy (i.e. melt chocolate and pour over the mix) and two more elaborate (make stovetop syrup, pour over, bake (and stir some). All four make nice gifts!
Note: All four recipes have approximately 32 servings of 2 cups each, which is the amount that we put in each individual bag.
Here is one of the sweet, easier ones:
