My little Joey is always asking to help in the kitchen.  But, he is quickly run over by several older siblings who insist that they get to help too.  So, yesterday while all the wild ones were out on the trampoline, I snagged Joey and he helped me mix up this super easy snack.  So easy that a two year old can make it!

We just called it Ranch Snack Mix.  It’s a blend of all things kids love… pretzels, Bugles, Goldfish crackers, cashews, and Ranch dressing mix.  The recipe makes a ton.  We filled up two gallon sized Ziploc bags and the kids have been munching all day.  I must say, Joey’s got a knack for making snacks.  He was pretty proud of his recipe.
