Kiddie Crunch Snack Mix Cooking Tips
- You’ll need a large mixing bowl.
- If you’re making it ahead, store the mix in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crispy.
- Take note, dried fruit is a good addition. However, dried fruit does contain some moisture. If you don’t plan to eat it right away, adding dried fruit can make the crisp crackers slightly soft. You’ll want to consider not adding dried fruit or waiting until you’re ready to serve the mix before adding it to prevent this.
