Recipe—Valentine’s Day Snack Mix

February 9, 2013January 28, 2018 Diva di Cucina

If you are on Pinterest then you have probably seen one form or another of “Puppy Chow” snack mixes. (Basically a super sweet treat made from chocolate covered Chex cereal and tossed with other tasty goods.) These snack mixes are popping up everywhere! I saw one the other day for Valentine’s Day that looked super cute. I liked the idea of doing something like this for my son and all his little classmates at school but thought his teacher’s may not appreciate it if I get a classroom full of 2 and 3 year olds all hopped up on sugar. I decided to create this lower sugar version snack mix that is great for people of all ages. Have fun mixing any and all of your favorite bite size snacks!

Note: This recipe makes enough to fill 24–26 snack size Ziploc bags or 1 large bowl.

Here are my final goodie bags. I made some cute tags that I folded in half and stapled over the top.

INGREDIENTS
15.5 oz box Strawberry Frosted Mini Wheats
10 oz box Honey Teddy Grahams
2 c yogurt covered raisins
2 c raspberry yogurt covered pretzels
1 1/2 c dried cranberries
1.25 oz yo’ drops crunchable yogurt

STEPS

Combine all ingredients and one large bowl and use a large serving spoon or scoop to mix together gently.
Divide mix into snack size bags or serve in one large bowl.
Enjoy!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

  It is basically little freeze dried yogurt bites. You may be able to find something similar in the dried fruit and nut section of your local store. If not, this mix wil he fine without it. 🙂
