It’s so fun to gather up all of the ingredients (I do this over a few weeks) and see what kind of seasonal candy is available at the market, as if you were filling a special children’s basket.

Our Hop To It Snack Mix starts by setting out all of the ingredients and unwrapping what you need first. To assemble, think about making a lasagna. Spread an even layer of the cheese bunnies or crackers, the grahams, the cereal, and then the sandwich cookies. Combine the Hop To It Snack Mix together. Next up, layer the jellybeans, coated chocolate eggs, and seasonal candy, followed by the Hershey’s kisses. Mix carefully by hand all of the ingredients. Try not to sneak a bite! Finally, top with the Peeps.

You may want to save a few colorful items for the very top when the Hop To It Snack Mix is first opened.

The Hop To It Snack Mix is a quintessential make ahead snack. AND you can easily double the batch. What host wouldn’t want to receive this Hop To It Snack Mix? Buy a large pastel bowl or sealable snack container, fill it with bring it along.

Open contents of all ingredients.
In an oversized clean rectangle food storage plastic container, 1.5 gallon or larger, begin to assemble the ingredients almost like a lasagna.
