Party Mix
With back to school right around the corner, I’ve got snacks on my mind. We’re gearing up for lunches, lunch ideas, after school snacks and more. I was reminded of this delicious party mix from an old guest post from Andrea of Knitty Bitties. She shared granola bars and other snack ideas, including this party mix recipe. It has all kinds of ingredients in it but it’s super easy to put together.

It’s called “party mix” because it’s a snack mix that’s meant to be served at parties or social gatherings. But I think it makes the perfect after school snack. It would even be really good topped on vanilla as a fruit parfait. Yum!
