Since today is “Recipe Day” in the blogosphere, I’m thrilled to bring back a FAVORITE, easy recipe to share with you. It’s from an old “Frappuccino Fun with Amy” post – and, btw, I’m still hoping to convince her to start writing here again soon! She has great ideas~ and this is one of her “classics”. Anyone who knows Amy, knows her Fall Mix, and her giving heart.
She writes: “One of my love languages is giving. I enjoy bringing unexpected treats to un-expecting people – whether it’s my children’s teachers, neighbors, or friends. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like to receive a gift “for no reason at all”. Last week, I made one of my favorite snack mixes and I’d like to share it with you, it’s always a big hit at this time of year! I like to call it – “FALL MIX”.”
Amy’s Fall Mix
Just mix the ingredients together in a big bowl:
1-2 Bags Candy Corn or Autumn Mix
1 Bag Indulgent Trail Mix (WalMart)
1-2 Bags M & M’s (Halloween Colors, Plain or Peanut) [Jennifer here: If I can’t find those, I just pull the blue M&Ms out of the “regular” bag.]
1 Can Toffee Peanuts (Dollar General Store or DG Market)
1 Can Mix Nuts or Peanuts (Salted)
1 Box Sugar Babies
For around $15 you can be a blessing to many people this season! Be aware that this mix can become addictive….”
Oh did I tell you that you've been on my prayer list to MEET in person? (smile).
Hey Sweetie,
Thanks for sharing with us today. Looks good!
I love you and I'm praying for you.
Oh how fun!!!!!!! Now that is a GREAT recipe to share for the fall. Thank you for linking this recipe to Tempt My Tummy Tuesday.
I have completely forgotten about sugar babies…yum – I could eat half of that bowl. 🙂
I love this – not only the mix recipe but also the fall gift idea! I also love giving unexpected gifts and these are super cute…and fun!
What a great gift!! This would be fabulous for all the teachers in my life..:)
Great idea! Looks fun 🙂
What can I say but YUMMY!!! YUM!!! Geri
I love your brother. He keeps me laughing.
BTW: Thanks for the fall mix gift. It was yummy. I shared it with the family after I ate all the candy corn out of it. 🙂
Wow, my family would love this !
We have the same blog background,I just love the red.
Thanks for sharing, blessings to you !
PLEASE DISREGUARD THAT LAST COMMENT! It's my brother – who has a very funny wit! Don't listen to him about the peeled boiled shrimp. He usually doesn't peel it. (ha ha!)
We like to make it and add the following: Crunch 'N Munch, chocolate chips, raisins, and peeled boiled shrimp. Oh yea, and malt balls.
This looks so pretty in clear glass jars! Sounds yummy, too!
Oh my! Looks yummy and yes, addictive! Thank you for sharing this great idea. Love things like this. = ) Have a wonderful day!
This looks so yummy and definitely dangerous! It wouldn't last long in my house!
Yum! And so pretty. I haven't had sugar babies in forever. Well, I do have ONE sugar baby right now 🙂 I think of you often, just don't have much chance at the computer. I'm remembering you and your family. Any employment news?
