Today's treat is for a festive Halloween Snack Mix. I found this recipe when I was browsing around Pinterest a couple months back. I pinned this festive snack mix, because it was so colorful and pretty simple to throw together.
In fact this recipe is so easy you can even get your kids involved since there's no baking required. Those are always the best recipes.
My kids actually prepared this snack mix all themselves, so this one is easy peasy my friends. I can't take credit for this recipe, but I can show you a few fun ways to package up this yummy snack mix.

I found everything I needed at Walmart including all the ingredients to make the snack mix. If you go to their Halloween isle you will see all sorts of fun stuff.
I found these cute little Halloween Takeout Boxes for $1.27 each. They're actually pretty good size at (6 in. by 4.5 in. ) and hold quite a bit of the snack mix.
I also found some 20 count Halloween Treat Bags for $1.47. They're clear on one side and have a spider print on the other. I found the bolt of ribbon in the craft section for $1.97.
Just add the snack mix to the treat bags and tie on a festive ribbon. The treat sacks are perfect for school or Halloween parties. We usually make a few up for the neighborhood kids as well.
Another cute way is to use a large quart size mason jar and add the snack mix inside. Print off a gift tag and add place it on the top of jar under the ring. This makes a perfect teacher gift.
Just add the desired amount of each of the ingredients to a large bowl and mix. Package in gift sacks, decorative take out boxes or a large jar. This is perfect for Halloween parties, girl scouts, boys scouts or family parties.
You can also use the same gift tags for the treat sacks. Just punch a hole in the tag with a hole puncher. Run the ribbon through the hole and tie the ribbon in a bow.
