So proud of you for keeping the package handy for cooking instructions, I woulda thrown it away and had to go back three times to the trash can to read the back over and over again! 🤣

[@Arizonagirl1981]

Oh! The strawberry trail mix sounds yummy!

I make oatmeal peanut butter energy balls. They're delicious. Please use parchment paper to bake with. Waxed paper melts in the oven.

[@barbgriffin4969]

You are a hard working Mother and wife so if you need to buy pre- packaged snacks, go for it.

[@Memaw-0404]

Emily I ❤ your shirt,that's 1 of my favorite songs we sing at my church! ❤ I agree wildberry muffins are the bomb! I was taking notes on these snacks and can't wait to give them a try. Your girls are precious! ❤Nancy

[@ashleyadams6803]

Your daughters are darling! Loved all the snacks!

Cj and I are super excited to try these!! Thank you for sharing!

[@Holynation2024]

We love sliced apples with chunky peanut butter and honey dip. My picky daughter loves it!

[@heathercollins6464]

I’ll definitely be trying the strawberry trail mix! It looks and sounds delicious!!! ❤️❤️ Yum! Gheeze, your mannerisms are your sister made over! ❤️

[@l.chelseegobin7853]

The quantities are smaller but Dollar Tree usually has freeze dried bananas or a strawberry banana mix. Also, Costco sells a bigger bag of the freeze dried strawberries for a reasonable price and I bet Brooke would love a shopping buddy! I can’t express how much I enjoy watching all of you have such a great time! ❤❤❤ THANKYOU! ❤❤❤

[@sallygordin2869]

Great ideas!! Love your shirt!! I think my favorite is the strawberry trail mix. Blessings friend

Great snacks! Im retired but some of those would work for me too! Great job

[@gloriawasion-allen521]

Love it !! Try butter in the Chex mix instead of oil. ❤❤

[@nicolelynn9027]

Yes, the butter will taste a lot better.

[@Zombie-adventures]

Awesome recipes! Great video!

[@meghankenworthy2903]

I love the strawberry trail mix idea! My littles are 3 and 1 1/2, and trying to get them snacks that are not messy and something they like is sooooo hard! I think they would love that trail mix!

[@Nesie1965]

I made some for my grandbabies, but it was the strawberry cheerios, dried strawberries, and the freeze dried strawberry yogurt bites for babies. it was pretty good.

[@sandyfitchcorbett1782]

I didn’t know there was the strawberry Chex’s and Cheerios. Keep an eye out. I like how you did the snack mix. So many of those have to be baked. Quick and easy.

[@MyBeautifulChaos93]

Quick and easy will always be my go to. I am not fond of baking lol. The strawberry chex and cereal is so good! The girls love it.

[@southerngaljenn]

I am so glad you started a channel! You’re doing great! All those snacks looked so good!

[@GwenDeeful]

Great snack ideas. Happy holidays

All good recipe ideas…..also good that they are easily adaptable to amount you need if just a couple of people eating ….. keep it up! Your girls are precious !

[@kittykatskorner6008]

Love your tshirt!!! ❤

[@singing3495]

A snack that I still make for myself that I learned long ago when my oldest daughter was in preschool (she is now well into middle age) Ants On A Log - celery sticks stuffed with peanut butter with raisins on top Might sound odd, but it’s crunchy and has protein and a bit of sweetness, and the combination just works somehow.

[@jae4807]

At our school here in Australia we can still provide homemade treats for school parties etc (we don't to class snacks just individual lunch boxes on a daily basis). It's really good seeing what gets brought in, we live in a very multicultural area so the kids get to try all sorts of new things.

[@Mollycat-mg6jq]

canada prepkg snacks preferred we cannot have and peanut butter peanuts or nuts

[@annpickle3817]

It all look good yummy

[@gabriellemedeiros3161]

[@marywells9162]

Thanks for the great ideas.

[@taraedwards1892]

I like to cook, but my passion is baking. I absolutely LOVE it. Ty so much for sharing these, may God bless y'all beautiful 💙💙

[@carriesessum2505]

A top favorite easy snack in our house is energy balls . SO many ways to make them ! Our favorite way is oats ,peanut butter,chia seeds ,flaxseed,honey (or real maple syrup) almond extract (a little goes a long way) mini chocolate . Pinterest has some good recipes too.

[@TammyJohnson-m4e]

You make the videos so fun

[@debbieblaise3597]

Love how real you and Brooke are. Watching your videos and feeling encouraged helps me on the hard days. One suggestion given to me when I made snacks and wanted to extend shelf life was to store them in jars. It suppose to keep them fresher. Of course at my house snacks don’t last long enough to get stale. 😂😂😂

[@karenlyons3790]

Hey there Emily.. I understand buying snack bags of snacks that are prepackaged sometimes you need them... I do for my grandson... Love the idea of making some at home... Lol they do seal those l bags tight... I love muffin mix not cooked as I do cake batter too.. lol.. you are such a great mom who works and dies so much for her family with a great sense of humor .. thank you so much for doing these videos for us... Really appreciate it... Hi girls... You did great for snacks... For everyone to enjoy .. see ya soon🥰

[@missyhubbard8227]

[@Bellalovestoca-ug5yt]

Absolutely love your videos and your content I found you from your sister Brooke you to all have the sweetest relationship. I didn’t know that they had strawberry Chex mix. Definitely be trying that mix. Thanks for sharing your family’s beautiful.

[@nolasurmanek7693]

I like all of them but will probably try the frozen yogurt.

[@MyBeautifulChaos93]

It is so good! I'll definitely be doing more of those.

[@diannthomas7849]

We used to save all of the cereal "leftovers" in a big plastic bag for a few weeks until we had enough to mix up a big batch of "shake up surprise." My whole family loved it.

[@susanprather5962]

All of these snacks look delish, especially the first one with the strawberry chex.

[@MyBeautifulChaos93]

It is SO good. Definitely worth the try!

[@cgoinsmajor]

Great video of some delicious snacks!

[@hilariecalijo4643]

You all are too cute ❤

[@johartsuff488]

Great variety of snacks,something for everyone! Thanks for the recipes. My grands like Dill crackers ( like Fire Crackers without the heat). My treat: I peel and slice apples, let sit in water with some salt for a few minutes then drain,don't rinse. Take cream cheese with a little brown sugar stirred in as a dip for those apple slices. Salty sweet treat and they don't turn brown. Please use wax paper carefully in oven. It will leave wax on your food and can catch fire. But it's great to use in fridge and Parchment paper is safer for oven. 😊

[@janabuchheit3389]

Great job, Emily! These snacks look delicious. I know they are better because they are made with love. I'm really enjoying your channel and content. It's OK if you don't fix everything homemade. Sometimes, that's not feasible. You do what you can because you're the only person who really knows you. Life can get hectic. Looking forward to your next video.

[@TeresaATerriGrover]

To measure out portions, use snack size bags.

[@darlenemylifewithparkinsons]

Great ideas

Falling in love with your family already. Thanks for starting your channel❤

[@peggyschuenemeyer6529]

Great ideas ty

[@kbr1980]

Funny story. When my kids were here I made this: big box cheerios (or bag of generic if they still make that), 1/2 bag chocolate chips(mini are best), 1/2 box raisins, 1/2 bag coconut, & enough honey to make it stay somewhat blended. Probably around 2-4 Tablespoons. Makes a HUGE bowl full. They could have 1/2 cup per day. My littlest couldn’t say trail mix. She named it c r a c k mix. This is over 35 years before what you’d think that meant now. As an adult we were in the grocery store together and she said, “I should make some______ mix”. (For her kids) People started whispering and looking at us. Took a minute to figure out why 😂 to this day that’s what my whole family call it. 😅Definitely addicting it tastes so good. You can add anything else to it but that’s all I could afford then. Back then it was about $3 to make and enough for 2 batches minus the cheerios.

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

Ranch Oyster Crackers • 1 bag of oyster crackers • ⅓ cup canola oil • ¼ cup ranch seasoning • 1 tsp dried dill weed INSTRUCTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 250F. 2. In a large bowl, combine the oyster crackers, canola oil, ranch seasoning and dill weed. Mix to combine. 3. Pour seasoned oyster crackers on a baking sheet and bake at 250F for 10 minutes, stir, then bake for another 10 minutes. 4. Let them cool for a couple minutes before eating! Enjoy! See Mindy Mom has a no-bake version. She also has a hack for extending muffins. She has some great snack ideas.

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

You did make this. 😀 I suspected I should have waited until the end of the video.

[@OliverPuller_1955]

Those trophy's and stanleys are cool, nice video

[@jennyhardebeck2981]

You are freakin adorable! End of story! I always tell my daughter, who is 28, that I wish I lived closer to you and Brooke. We all would be such good friends! Thank you for putting brightness in my day every time I see you! Brooke you too!! ❤

[@maureenhaggerty60]

Auguson Farms has freeze dried bananas. They are good.

[@awesometaylor5881]

❤😂🎉Absolutely 💯

[@karenfrankland7763]

School snacks growing up would be home popped popcorn, raisins, dates, other dried fruits like apricots, apples , cranberries, and mango's. We also got nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. We never got store bought cereal or chips. Mom and Nanny would make homemade Granola. If we did good on a test we got some chocolate chips in our granola or treat bag.

[@annazapallin]

Oh I miss the home popped popcorn! I’m going to start making that for a work snack as a grownup 😂 Thanks for sharing that memory

[@BrandiRisner]

I recently just found your sister's channel! And I absolutely love her, and I saw some collab videos with you. Then I realized you had a channel as well and I am so glad I have found two truly amazing channels!!!

[@starlingmorris648]

Great ideas!! Itvis a delight to view your videos! I wonder if you added an egg to the bars if they would have held their shape.

[@bobbycoleman9457]

Everything looked delicious! Thank you for sharing these great ideas! I can't wait to try them all! The ones with the applesauce probably just needed more oatmeal or less applesauce, but love the idea of using as a yogurt topping. Might even be good on some vanilla ice cream. I'm so glad you started your own channel. You have such a great personality and your girls are so sweet! ❤Claire (Bobby's wife) Mississippi Gulf Coast

[@MyBeautifulChaos93]

Yes, some of the measurements were definitely a little off somewhere. Baking is not for me lol. I didn't even think of ice cream toppings! That's a good one. Thank you so much! You are too kind 🩷🩷🩷

[@auntrowdy]

Next time you make your Chex mix, put pretzel goldfish in instead of regular pretzels. My nieces love it when I do that!

[@marymcdonald3778]

Did I see you bake your oatmeal mix on wax paper in the oven? I've never heard of wax paper in the oven. Does it work?

[@CherylBailey-o1q]

Maybe people have bought up the freeze dried bananas and sent them to the children in WNC. That would be an excellent snack for them❤

[@MyBeautifulChaos93]

It really would! 😊

[@patbuegeler7770]

❤❤❤❤

[@veronica978]

One mix I started doing was… a s’mores mix… golden grams, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips… the last time I made it I added teddy grams as well to give more texture. And used mini m& Ms instead of chocolate chips….

[@MyBeautifulChaos93]

That sounds so good! I'll have to try it!

[@wendystuthers8706]

They look and sound good ❤❤❤ the kids look like they are over the top pleased with them. I don't know if you are aware of it but you can get smaller baggies called snack baggies. It might be a better size.😊😊😊😊

[@sarahc444]

💜💜💜💜

[@heatherchrisco9106]

I can't wait to make the strawberry trail mix! It looks so delicious! At the beginning of making this you mentioned freeze dried bananas and I was just wondering are those a real thing? I know there's dried banana chips are because I love them even though I don't like bananas, but I could snack on banana chips all day long lol. Seriously though I've never heard of freeze dried bananas and I'm 42 years old. I think I'm actually going to make all of these because they all look yummy! I know my son would love them all too! Thanks for sharing another wonderful video with us! ❤

[@MyBeautifulChaos93]

You know what...lol maybe they're not freeze dried and it is banana chips 😂 I think I just assumed they were freeze dried because the strawberries were haha.

[@heatherchrisco9106]

​@MyBeautifulChaos93 if it is banana chips you're looking for our local grocery store here in NC is Food Lion and they sell them in plastic containers in the produce section. At our Walmart and Dollar Tree they have them right next to the trail mix. Hope that helps you. 😊

[@kathythefostermomthompson9138]

I missed what kind of oil in the checks mix my aunt made that every Christmas. Back in the day..

[@Arizonagirl1981]

I’m the opposite! I love to bake but not cook!😊

[@melisahampton6946]

I add my chia seeds to my yogurt

[@GloriaClark-b1r]

If you have a Kroger near you they may have freeze dried bananas, or you might have to order them from Walmart or Amazon and they are not going to be cheap no matter where you get them.

[@Wendy-pajamadays68]

You are doing a fabulous job!

[@cathytuffley5472]

Walmart has a bag of banana chips. You might have to ask him at their store, but I order them from them all the time.

[@serendipitysue3255]

👍🏿😊

[@blessedbabe8318]

How did u prepare the yogurt I missed it . I watch videos while I work at home on the computer

[@MyBeautifulChaos93]

I just buy the large size of vanilla greek yogurt. You toss it in some cupcake wrappers and add your toppings and freeze :)

[@jeanienelson6524]

When I was young my momma would put a whole cup of milk in one muffin pack and it would make twice as many muffins 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@RadianceRush]

Thanks for sharing these recipes! Not trying to be nit picky or anything but you used wax paper for baking the apple oat bars on. Was that intentional? 😱

[@Mollycat-mg6jq]

how is it in the states you guys are aloweed to have peanutbutter in states schools we cant eaven sent a treat unless its says peanut /nut free on pkg

[@carriesessum2505]

It depends on the school or district in the states, some schools are nut free if one or more students are highly allergic. Depends

[@Mollycat-mg6jq]

@ Ah thank you all our schools havebanned it nomatter what

[@MyBeautifulChaos93]

Yes, it depends on the district/school/class. For example, my 6 year old can't bring any peanut products into her classroom as there are multiple kids with allergies. But, my other 2 daughters can because they don't have any in their classroom. They all go to the same school. I could see a permanent ban being put into place at some point though.

[@wabilicious]

There will be a lot of posts soon from people sharing how much they achieved in 2024 But, In case someone needs to hear this.. It's okay if the only thing you did this year was just get through it. ❤❤❤

[@merediths9667]

Girl I’m the same. I will cook but not bake. Baking is too precise and I always get something wrong 😅

[@jodibartlebaugh1305]

Dried bananas in Pennsylvania or buy a dehydrator and make your own.

[@rls2348]

Good video, Emily. Your little girls are so precious. The snacks will go a long way and so easy. I’m with you, I love to cook, always have. But baking not my jam. Too precise and time consuming.
