What birthday is complete without sprinkles and party hats? None if you ask me! So this fun Birthday Snack Mix is just packed with sprinkled graham bears, sprinkled cereal, sweet & salty Bugles party hats and sprinkled cupcake bites … this snack mix really IS a party in your mouth 😉

Birthday Snack Mix

I love getting creative with snack mixes … finding just the right mix of themed ingredients to mix together is so fun. Give me a theme and I’ll give you a snack mix!!

Further proof:

You should see me wandering down the aisles of candy, crackers, snacks and by the registers hunting down ingredients … well, honestly, never mind. I probably look a little “off” as I talk to myself quietly to contemplate if mini Oreos will make good wheels and if I can transform Bugles into birthday hats.

Oh, and the answer to that question is YES – I can transform Bugles into birthday hats!

Birthday Snack Mix

Ingredients

Sprinkled Donut Cap’n Crunch Cereal
Birthday Cake flavored Teddy Grahams
Cupcake Bites (found at Walgreens- or your favorite brightly colored candy)
Bugles
Vanilla Almond Bark
Sprinkles

Instructions

Bugles Party Hats

Heat almond bark according to package directions.
Prepare a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. (Easy clean up!)
Dip Bugles in almond bark and shake off the excess.
Place Bugles on baking sheet and sprinkle with sprinkles!
Allow Bugle party hats to set – place in fridge to speed up the process.

Birthday Snack Mix

Mix Together equal parts cereal and graham bears.
Add cupcakes bites (or gummy bears or sour balls or M&M’s) and Bugle party hats.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

So, here is a quick picture of my oh-so-fancy Bugles dipping station. Once the almond bark was melted, I dipped the Bugles in the almond bark, shook off the excess, placed them on my parchment lined baking sheet and added sprinkles. Sweet and salty birthday hats … done!!

And yes. I did. 😉

Ahem. Anyway …

I love serving snack mixes in individual servings in brightly colored nut cups, mini waffle cone bowls {like the Circus Snack Mix I shared at The Crafting Chicks}, mini paper bags, snow cone paper cones or even ice cream cones! It makes a great edible favor to send home with guests, too.

Happy birthday or a very merry UN-birthday! Whichever it is, let’s celebrate!!
