Snacks for the way home- Mickey rice krispie treats!!!!!
Originally Posted By Lizardgirl12 Ahhh yes, the rice crispy treat! Can't forget those! Also, beef jerky is good. Minimal mess, and it'll keep kids quiet for quite some time. I know that my dad sometimes likes to get those little liccorice bites, fruit snacks are always good. Here are some other random ideas. Mixed nuts, string cheese, pretzels, rice or popcorn cakes, jello/pudding cups, bagels, random veggies. (Assuming you're bringing a cooler?) Anyways, good luck!
Originally Posted By Ellya We go to Costco and buy snacks which come in single serving packaging so that as they are consumed the mess gets smaller. They carry single serving sized goldfish crackers, cheese or peanut butter cracker packs, various nuts, granola, granola bars, cookies, and jerky. I'm sure there are more, but those are ones we like. All of those also make good snacks to pack into the park since they are conveniently packaged.
