Summer Vacation Trail Mix! Fun Ingredients That My Kids Love!

Summer Trail Mix Cheerios 002

 

Here is an easy trail mix made with half of what I call “good for you” ingredients, and the other half of “goodies” ingredients.

Since I have all three kiddos home for summer and I am already hearing, “May I have a snack?” constantly, I decided that I needed something to fill their bellies up for at least a little while. I had all of these ingredients on hand from previous sales or baking, so I threw them all together.

My son came up with the name Summer Vacation Trail Mix by the way.

This is how I made it, you can always double or triple the ingredients depending upon if you are making it for a party, or just want to bag it in advance.

Summer Trail Mix Cheerios 001

Summer Vacation Trail Mix

1/2 Cup of Dark Chocolate M&Ms

1/2 Cup of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

1/2 Cup of Salted Peanuts

2 Cups of Toasted O’s (Cheerios)

Mix and serve. I actually put mine in a dispenser so the kids could get it out themselves.

Do you make anything similar for your family? If you try it, let me know what you think!

This mix was a hit with my kids, and apparently I am going to have to keep these ingredients on hand so I can make A LOT of it!

    That seems simple enough. I'm looking for easy summer snacks. My kids have only been out of school for a week and have ate everything! lol

    We are getting ready to take a road trip and was looking for something to make as a snack. I think I just found it. Thanks!

    If I just take out the peanuts then I can eat it. Looks good and since we would probably eat the bad stuff anyway, might as well add the healthy cheerios in.

    I love this snack idea. I like to pack snacks in baggies for the kids when we go out during the Summer and this would be a perfect snack.
