Trail Mix Bar

My nephew graduated from high school this year and my sister-in-law through an awesome party! She really out did herself with decorations and snack ideas. One thing that I found so clever was a make your own trail mix station. She took mason jars and filled them with all sorts of snacks. A stack of plastic cups was placed nearby for each person to make their own personal trail mix!

This would be perfect for summer parties or birthday parties. You could put such a variety of snacks in the mason jars too! Some ideas for snacks for trail mix are:

  • Nuts (peanuts, almonds, cashews, etc.)
  • Dried Fruit (raisins, craisins, apricots, shredded coconut, etc.)
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Yogurt covered raisins
  • Pretzels
  • Marshmallows
  • Granola

You could also make snack mixes with different types of crackers and nuts! Such a simple idea but something that kids love!
