Squirrel Snacks Trail Mix Recipe

If you’re looking for an easy and healthy snack to serve at a group gathering or birthday party, these mini cups of trail mix are a great choice. Creating your own trail mix is easy to do, and it’s a perfect treat for little observers on-the-go! Give them an “Elinor Wonders Why” spin by labeling them as squirrel snacks and even adding a paper character to each cup!

Grab a few mini paper cups and fill them with “squirrel snacks” (this simple recipe for trail mix)! The mixture is filled with dried fruits like apricot and banana, and has nuts and chocolate, too! If you’re catering to a nut allergy, simply omit the almonds and try something more allergy-friendly like rice chex cereal!

Materials

Directions

Start by adding all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir gently to mix.

Scoop ½ cup of the trail mix into small brown kraft paper cups.

Optional: Add a paper character from “Elinor Wonders Why” like Elinor or Ranger Rabbit! Tape it to a toothpick and place on the top of each cup of trail mix. Place on a tray on your food table and serve!
