5-Minute Harvest Crunch Snack Mix

by

Hi Friends! How are ya? Crazy busy here! And that is why I am so into this 5-Minute Harvest Crunch Snack Mix! My kids have been bombarding me for candy lately. Everything is candy this, candy that, I want candy! Get Me Candy Mommy!! AWWWW! I am tired of saying no to candy so that is why I am saying yes to this 5-Minute Harvest Crunch Snack Mix. No guilt in handing this snack over to my kids. 😉

The purpose of this post is to talk to you about what is going on in my life right now. Things have been crazy busy and by crazy busy I mean we are going to be packing up and moving out of our house soon! Ahh! How am I ever going to find the time to pack up things in a few weeks?! Well that is why I am taking the time to create a post that took so little time to make. My kids were ecstatic that when they asked for candy I actually gave them just that, along with some healthy stuff too! They ate it either way! And this caramel candy corn was just simply awesome! I am not a huge candy corn lover but my hand kept finding its way back to this stuff. 🙂 I love Honey Nut Cheerios and Honey Nut Chex cereal so together they are even better!!

Making this snack mix had a few good things going for it. 1) IT MADE MY KIDDOS HAPPY AS CAN BE. 2) I was able to spend two minutes cleaning up and then head outside to play with my kids! The end result…EVERYONE IS HAPPY. They LOVE going outside to swing and run around in the leaves. Usually, I am stuck inside cleaning up my kitchen mess. However, not today! I was all smiles because we raked leaves and I love nothing more then watching a 2, 3, and 4 year old jump in a pile of leaves and think it is the greatest thing in the world!! It totally reminds me of when I was their age loving the exact same thing!! The little things in life are often the biggest memories. And today we made big memories in our backyard. And for that reason, I am satisfied with my 5-minute harvest crunch snack mix!! 🙂

Bunny Bait Mix

Oh, the things to do on Holy Saturday! Here is a quick recap of the day so far…wake up and make coffee cake ✔️, hurry off to the Easter egg hunt✔️ WAIT, no we missed that because I thought it was at 11:00am and it was actually at 9:00am. 🙁 No mom of the year award here. I did try to redeem myself by going to the mall to take a picture with the Easter Bunny! And by that I do not mean I personally took a picture with the Easter Bunny! No, no, I took my kids to see the Easter Bunny and they took a picture with him! 😉

Their faces did sure perk up once they were sitting next to the Easter Bunny. There was not even one tear throughout the whole process. I was a little shocked. 🙂 But I think their favorite part of the day so far has been dyeing the Easter eggs with eating all the M&M eggs for this Bunny Bait Mix as a close second! 🙂

My husband walked by and said, “Ya, I’m not too into those kind of snacks.” But his hands have seemed to flock back to the bowl more than a few times and when I caught him, he replied, “This is actually really good! 😉

So…if you too want to run along it is okay! I will understand. I have not been able to keep my hand out of the bowl either!! 🙂
