Scarecrow Snack Mix

Fall is one of my favorite times of year. In Florida we don’t get that crisp cool air or beautiful color change, but we do have football weekends and other fun get togethers. My kiddos and I created this yummy  Scarecrow snack mix as a simple Fall treat to take to all these gatherings. It’s always a favorite and there are NEVER any leftovers.

Scarecrow snack mix is a simple and festive Fall treat. Perfect for parties, family gatherings, or just a fun snack!

The best thing about our Scarecrow Snack Mix is it comes together in a snap! We’ve used it for a fall teacher treats, hostess gifts, Halloween classroom party favors and even as an after school snack! You can also create a bunch of different varieties based on what ingredients your family loves or what is on sale that week!

Scarecrow Snack Mix

Scarecrow Snack Mix

Our family usually enjoys this combination:

1 box of Crunch and Munch                               1 bag of candy corn

1 bag of pretzel twists                                          1 bag of Fall colored M&Ms

1 bag of Bugles                                                      1 can of peanuts(my kids like the honey roasted)

1 box of Brown Sugar Oatmeal Square Cereal

Scarecrow Snack Mix

We pour everything except the candies, into the biggest bowl we can find, gently mix the ingredients together until well combined then add the candy. I’ve found if you add the candy from the outset, it all tends to just settle on the bottom and doesn’t get evenly distributed when you’re portioning it out.

Some other mix ins we’ve used are:

chocolate graham goldfish                         Honey Nut Cheerios

almonds                                                         Reese Pieces

Cheez Its                                                        Autumn Mix, the candy corn mix with the little pumpkins

Scarecrow Snack Mix

I like to add the Scarecrow mix to decorated jars or clear plastic bags and finish off with a pretty ribbon. It’s so easy to make a dozen jars of it at once and have them ready to go for the kid’s teachers, neighbors, or friends. I love when I can pull a fun and thoughtful gift from the pantry when I’m short on time!

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
