Our "Everybody Has a Story" topic was about snacks that we made for our children.
Peanut butter on celery, PB&J sandwiches, carrot sticks with ranch dressing and trail mix. So we made a trail mix with cranberries, peanuts, cashews, caramel bits (for the fall touch), small pretzels, M&M's and white chocolate chips. Sweet, salty and nutty!
What is your favorite snack mix?
