snacks

I've been trying this weekend to make some homemade snacks.  So far I have made a simple snack mix and bought what I need to make some raspberry fruit leather.  Next on my list is blueberry muffins so I can use up the blueberries I have before they go bad.  Recipe and pictures for the muffins and fruit leather to follow as long as they turn out ok. :)  Here is my recipe for snack mix:

~2 cups Honey Nut Cheerios
~2 cups regular Cheerios
~1/2 cup dried cherries
~1/2 cup raisins
~1/2 cup mini marshmallows
~1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
I wanted to include soy nuts as well but couldn't find them at Walmart.  I'm going to check Sprouts and
maybe add them tomorrow.

Update:  Just made the muffins and the batter was so tasty I'm sure the muffins will be as well.  I found the recipe online and its called Ann's Awesome Blueberry Muffins

I used half the recipe because 12 muffins are enough for my family.

4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups sour cream
2 cups blueberries
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
2) In a large bowl, beat eggs. Gradually add sugar while beating. Continue beating while slowly pouring in oil. Stir in vanilla. In separate bowl, stir together flour, salt and baking soda.
3) Stir dry ingredients into egg mixture alternately with sour cream. Gently fold in blueberries. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups.
4) Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Makes 24-30 muffins.
