When preparing to go to the cabin earlier this month I began my snack packing ritual. We travel with a lot of snacks in the car in an attempt to avoid junk (at least somewhat) and as a distraction for fussy kids. This time, the kids and I made spring trail mix. It was a hit!
Spring Trail Mix
2 c. Chickadee Crackers (Target's generic fish crackers - much more spring like and tastier)
1 bag Easter M&Ms
2 c. Dried Cranberries
4 c. Multigrain Cheerios
2 c. Lightly salted roasted peanuts
1 c. Dried Apple Chips
Mix well. We bagged this up into 8 snack size baggies (which I stashed all over from diaper bag to my camera bag and replenished frequently). The remainder we had in a larger ziplock in our car snack bag. Possibly not our healthiest snack, but very tasty and well-loved by our little traveling crew.

Abbey - I always have a huge container of my homemade trail mix for the fussiest person in the house (me). I tend to not like salty things, so all the nuts are unsalted. Apple chips sound like a great addition!
So any and all combination of the following:
Craisins
Dried cherries (sometimes)
Yogurt covered raisins
Cheerios (plain)
Chocolate chips
Almonds
Pistachios (shelled)
Pecans
Sunflower seeds
I HAVE to make this! Sounds fantastic for Ashtyn!
We made our own little version for the party...I couldn't remember exactly what your recipe said while I was at the grocery store..so we forgot the apple chips. We did add a few jelly beans for Easter though...oh & we had the bunny-shaped crackers. So fun.
