Smores Trail Mix {After School Snack or Lunch Box Treat}

I was glancing through a after school snack cook book at the School Book Fair and came across this recipe for a S'mores Trail Mix. I thought to myself what a fun and easy  snack that the kids can make at home.  My kiddos love s'mores, but to be honest the only time we make them is when we go camping.

We don't go camping a awful lot. You see our camp outs usually consists of a camping in our back yard. But that's OK, my kids love back yard camp outs too. Besides that the only other time we have s'mores is in the winter when our fire place is in full swing.

This trail mix only requires a handful of ingredients which keeps it pretty low cost. You can use either teddy grahams or golden grahams cereal. I chose to use cereal instead of cookies. I chose to use cereal for cost purposes. A box of Golden Grahams Cereal was only $2.50 versus two boxes of Teddy Grahams prices at $2.68 each.

I wanted to keep this recipe as low cost as possible and I always have mini marshmallows and chocolate chips in the pantry. This trail mix is the perfect after school snack or lunch box treat. You can also add the trail mix to clear gift sacks and make treat bags for a school activity or party. What kid wouldn't love this. 

The great thing about this recipe is the kids can make it all by themselves. Just toss all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix. Store in a airtight container and enjoy!!!!!!!!!! This little mix has the perfect combination of flavors.
