Over the next few days we will be stopping in at friends, visiting family, and entertaining at home. Each of these occasions will require gifts of some description. One simple and cost-effective gift idea is a Mason jar or pretty bowl filled with Holiday Snack Mix. It is one of my favourite hostess gift or snack ideas to have on hand during the holiday season. Gifts from the kitchen are always a big hit with everyone, no matter where you are.
Homemade snack mix (otherwise known as bits-and-bites or nuts-and-bolts) is insanely easy to make and I usually have most of the ingredients on hand. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cereal.
There are many different versions of snack mix recipes—on cereal boxes, food websites, and in family cookbooks, but this particular recipe was passed on to me by one of my closest friends. Add or omit ingredients to create your own family holiday snack mix.
