The Goof is in charge of snack this week at preschool. They like to have you tie the snack in with the theme that week. This week’s theme is J is for Jungle. So I needed something that started with a J or something that was J themed. I wracked my brain and aside from Jello, and Jam, I couldn’t come up with much that start with J so I went for the Jungle theme. I was wandering the aisles at the super market and saw animal crackers and I came up with this idea for a Jungle Safari Trail Mix.
It is super simple to make, and like any trail mix you can kind of mix it up based on your personal preference, but I am going to share with you what we put in ours. One of the ingredients I wanted to share a picture of is this dried fruit mix as it is a tropical blend, so you can see what is in it.
You might be able to purchase all of those dried fruits separately, but I refer to this package of dried tropical fruit in the recipe so I wanted to show you what it looks like.
This Jungle Safari Trail Mix would be perfect for an animal or safari themed party, as well as maybe part of a group of Disney themed snacks (Jungle Cruise anyone?). This is also a great project for your kids to do as it requires zero baking, and is basically mixing it in a bowl. You can then portion it out if desired, but if it is for a party leaving it in a serving bowl is perfectly fine too.
I hope you enjoy this Jungle Safari Trail Mix. If you try it out let me know what you think, and what you put in yours!
