My friends had adapted my “snack jar”, and they have their versions of munchers. One of them loved gummy treats so much so her muncher jar is a haven of all things gummy. One of them is obsessed with cereals so it’s full of all types of cereals that I haven’t even dared try. Even Mom adapted it. She keeps a jar of her favorite nuts and fruits too, adding a bit of spice to them so they will have a stronger flavor.
One of our friends from Taste of Home has this to say about this recipe:
“This nutty concoction is an easy, make-at-home food gift. It will spice up the snack table at any party. Good luck keeping the bowl filled.”
It really does make for a good gift! I just put them in these little mason jars, add ribbons, and voila! The people I give them too appreciate the practicality of the gift and of course, the taste. It’s something that you don’t really receive frequently.
