Simple S’mores Trail Mix

categories: Main Dishes, Recipes, Snacks

The weather has been warming up this week here in Iowa, which reminded me that soon we will be making s’mores by the campfire.  So when I was looking for a snack to make for my daughter’s sporting practice I had to try this recipe from Like Mother, Like Daughter.  It combines the perfect mix of sweet dark chocolate with some salt from the pretzels.   I filled up snack size baggies with this wonderful mix and the kids loved it.  My niece loves to assemble little miniature s’mores with all of the pieces as she snacked. So if you are looking for the taste of s’mores without the hassle of the campfire then try this fun blend of goodies.

Here are the ingredients you will need, 3 cups of Golden Graham Cereal, 2 cups of mini marshmallows,  1 cup of chocolate chips, 2 cups of pretzels, and 1 (10 oz.) package of Ghiradelli dark chocolate melting wafers.

Start by mixing the cereal, marshmallows, chocolate chips, and pretzels in a bowl.

Then spread out the mix on parchment paper.

Now melt one (10 oz.) bag of melting wafers according to the package directions in the microwave or on the stove top.  I used Ghiradelli dark chocolate, but you could use a different brand.

Then using a spoon drizzle the melted chocolate wafers over the mixture.

Now let the chocolate cool until it is set and then break it into pieces and fill your snack baggies or other containers.

Sweet and Salty Corn Chips

categories: Recipes, Snacks

sweet-and-salty-corn-chipsDo you love sweet or salty snacks? Well this treat is the perfect balance of both sweet chocolatey butterscotch and super salty corn chips. I was first introduced to this interesting snack by my sister after she purchased a bag of it at a bake sale. The recipe uses the same delicious ingredients as Scotcheroo Bars minus the Rice Krispies. I was so excited to try this new concoction that I prepared it as an after school snack for my daughter and nieces. They gave it a thumbs up by quickly eating the entire platter full – no joke! It’s ooey, gooey, sticky, and fun to pick through for pieces with large globs of drizzle and some with just a little. So if you are looking for an out of the ordinary sweet snack, for a movie night or a fun summer party, try this recipe for Sweet and Salty Corn Chips.

Start by mixing the 1 cup of light corn syrup and 1 cup of sugar together in a pan over medium heat until it just starts to boil. Then remove the pan from the heat right away or the topping will be too hard.

Printable May Day Gift Tag and Caramel Puffcorn

categories: Printables, Recipes, Snacks

May Day 2016 1

May Day is almost here and this year I’m featuring a new printable.  It is a gift tag in a traditional pink pastel color on a chalkboard background with a scalloped eyelet border.  You can attach the card to a brown paper lunch sack (like I have shown) then attach the separate scalloped border to the folded over edge of your bag.  The nice thing about using paper bags is they are inexpensive, and they won’t tip over like the plastic cups do when you try to deliver them around the neighborhood.  Thinking about giving people a small plant on May Day?  Just fold down one of your brown lunch sacks and set a small plant in the bag and then attach the printable.   Another great way to use this printable is to attach it to any cup or basket.  The possibilities are endless!  Note, I have also included a recipe for Caramel Puffcorn that I found on Old Dutch’s website.  It is easy to make and it is the perfect alternative to traditional popcorn for filling your bags.  And, if you still need May Day ideas check out my past May Day posts:  Free May Day Printables and May Day Basket Ideas.
