Muffin Tin Snack Tray
Talk about char-CUTE-erie. My family loves muffin tin snack trays. These are so fun (and portable, too). I like to include fruits & veggies, cheese, crackers or pretzels, and a sweet treat. The possibilities are endless. I’ve even been known to serve this for lunch or dinner on a busy day!

S'mores Snack Mix
S'more flavor for when you're on the go. I love to pack up a quick snack mix for when my family is out adventuring... or just hanging in our backyard. This snack mix is a real treat. It’s delicious and takes minutes to make. My kids love to help me make this (and love eating it even more!).
6 cups Graham Cracker Cereal
(Golden Grahams)
3 cups Mini Pretzel Twists
2 cups Mini Marshmallows
2 cups Chocolate Chips
Combine all ingredients, and enjoy!

Summer Fruit Cones
Here's a healthier twist on your traditional summer ice cream cone....it's a fruit cone! Portable, delicious, and a great way to get picky kids to eat summer berries.
Whipped Cream or Cool Whip (Dairy-free whipped cream works well here, too!)
Assorted Berries
Optional Mint to Garnish
1. Put 1-2 tbsp of whipped cream in ice cream cone.
2. Add a layer of berries.
3. Repeat whipped cream and berry layers until ice cream cone is filled to your desired level.
4. Garnish with mint, if desired.
