Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to surprise your little ones or in my case now – your young adult “children” with a special treat, and what better way to do that than with a personalized Valentine’s Snackle Box? This fun, festive, and easy-to-make snack box is a great way to show your love while giving your kids a variety of delicious goodies to enjoy!
I made these for my adult children and their spouses/significant others! I also printed out an adorable picture of each couple from our Christmas trip (Shop at Shutterfly) and put it in a frame. P.S. Sorry to Eli as he left his snacklebox at home and I may have to refill the candy! You know mom loves the Reese’s! :)
What is a Snackle Box?
A snackle box is a fun twist on a traditional tackle box, but instead of fishing gear, it’s filled with an assortment of snacks! It’s a creative and organized way to serve up a mix of sweet and savory treats that will have your kids smiling from ear to ear.
How to Make a Valentine’s Snackle Box
Creating a Valentine’s Snackle Box is super simple and can be customized to fit your child’s favorite snacks. Here’s how to put one together:
What You’ll Need:
- A plastic organizer or tackle box with multiple compartments (I found some really cute ones in store at Target but Amazon has a huge variety of sizes on their website!
- Valentine’s-themed treats and snacks
- Stickers, labels, or washi tape for decoration
- A fun Valentine’s Day note or card
Snack Ideas to Include:
- Sweet Treats: Heart-shaped gummies, conversation hearts, chocolate-covered pretzels, mini marshmallows, Hershey’s Kisses, M&M’s, or Valentine’s-themed cookies.
- Healthy Snacks: Strawberries, raspberries, yogurt-covered raisins, heart-shaped fruit snacks, or trail mix with dried fruit.
- Savory Options: Mini cheese crackers, popcorn, goldfish crackers, pretzels, or nuts (if there are no allergies).
- A Fun Surprise: A small Valentine’s toy, stickers, or a cute handwritten note to make it extra special!
Amazon has a lot of great deals on candy and other small fun surprises in their Valentine’s Day Store.
