Our Holiday Blue and White Snack Mix starts with pretzel sticks or popcorn, whole wheat square cereal and fun blueberry cereal. Add in the iced oatmeal cookies. Next, the yogurt covered pretzels, white and seasonal chocolate chips. Next, toss in the dehydrated mini marshmallow bits, and carefully break up the vanilla wafer cookies.
