My kiddos love this so very much. I’ve made a few variations before, however, this one is for Valentines. You can even add craisins, but my one son doesn’t care for them or raisins so I left them out.
If you buy it all just once you spend about $20. If you buy one Cheerio, one 25 oz generic mini pretzel, 3 each of the M&M’s, Annie’s crackers, and grahams then it’s about $42. That makes it cheaper in the long run because the cereal and pretzels stretch a lot farther.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups Strawberry & Banana Cheerios https://www.target.com/p/cheerios-strawberry-banana-family-size-cereal-19-oz/-/A-83939037#lnk=sametab
- 1 bag Valentine M&M 10oz https://www.target.com/p/m-38-m-39-s-valentine-39-s-cupid-39-s-mix-milk-chocolate-candies-10-0oz/-/A-77407955#lnk=sametab
- 1 box Annies Cheddar bunnies https://www.target.com/p/annie-s-organic-original-snack-mix-9oz/-/A-52089411#lnk=sametab
- 1 box Annies Bunny grahams https://www.target.com/p/annie-s-organic-original-snack-mix-9oz/-/A-52089411#lnk=sametab.
- 3 cups of a mini pretzel
Directions:
Toss all into a large bowl and mix well. As you put into your containers or bags you’ll want to keep mixing from the bottom as you’ll find the M&M’s want to sink or cluster together.
Extra:
- This Annies Mix would be great replacement for a bag of the cheddar ones or just simply make it an addition to make your mix bigger. They also have a good veggie options that my kiddos enjoy. https://www.target.com/p/annie-s-organic-original-snack-mix-9oz/-/A-52089411#lnk=sametab
- There are a few choices for the “cookies” portion of the mix. Annie’s also has “birthday cake”, and “Friends Bunny Grahams”.
- I find stick pretzels to be hard to incorporate in the mix.
