This snack mix is a measuring game with a tasty finish. Big cereal loops and pretzels make the base, while raisins and little chocolate chips fill the gaps. Toss gently so the pretzels stay in pieces rather than turning into crumbs.

Before you begin · grown-up check

An adult checks the setup, ingredient labels and task suitability, then stays nearby while the young cook prepares the recipe without heat.

  • Together wash hands with soap and water and clean the work surface.
  • Adult checks ingredient labels, equipment and task suitability; ages are starting guides, not a guarantee of readiness.
  • An adult stays nearby throughout.

Ages are a starting guide. A grown-up checks your readiness and stays nearby. Follow the actor label on every step.

The skill you’re learning

Measure loose pieces without crushing them into the cup. A light, level cup gives a different amount from one that has been packed down.

Try one change

Replace the raisins with 1/4 cup ready-chopped dried apricots.

Serving & storing

Keep in a clean airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days, or follow an ingredient’s shorter label limit. Keep away from heat so the chocolate stays firm.
