Easy Kids Snack Cornucopia

I always enjoy opening up my inbox to find a neat little surprise in there.  Today I found a fun idea for a kids' snack.  Hope you enjoy it, too!

 

Cornucopia of Snacks

Prep Time: 5 min
Start to Finish: 5 min
Makes: 12 servings

Put together a clever snack, easy for little hands to hold. Vary the contents with the season!

3 cups popped popcorn
1/2 cup assorted small candies (such as candy corn)
1/2 cup salted peanuts
12 waffle cones

1 . In medium bowl, mix popcorn, candies and peanuts.
2 . Scoop about 1/3 cup mixture into each waffle cone.

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):No change.

Tip
Vary the mix to suit your taste--try cashews, almonds, candy-coated
chocolate candies or dried fruit.

 

This was posted to a holiday recipe e-mail group I belong to by R.G. from Missouri, as a suggestion for a good Halloween snack.  I think it would be fun any time of year!

Cute idea for small children. I think my 13 year old would think I was nuts if I gave him something like that. He isn't into cutesy things anymore. I kind of miss it!
