Don’t shoot the messenger but back to school season is upon us. I know, I know, you probably are not ready for the back to school routine to begin, or maybe you are. Either way, this delicious Honey Nut Cheerios Apple Pie Snack Mix will be a perfect addition to your child’s lunch.
Honey Nut Cheerios™ is the one cereal that is always stocked on my pantry shelf. Naturally flavored with honey, this family favorite is made with whole grains and low in fat. It also provides 12 essential vitamins and minerals. Honey Nut Cheerios™ is the perfect way to start the day.
When it comes to stocking up for the new school year, I shop at Costco. I like to buy in bulk so then I don’t have to shop as often. Fall is busy so this is a real time saver for me. Costco has all the items I need for getting ready for a new school year including Honey Nut Cheerios.
Another reason we love Honey Nut Cheerios™ is that it is part of the General Mills family, which sponsors the Box Tops For Education Program. Box Tops support education and benefit America’s Schools. Box Tops are found on the boxes of participating General Mills products. Costco is sponsoring the Inspire Imagination Box Top program.

Fall and apples go hand in hand and this snack is the perfect way to celebrate. It is not only packed with Honey Nut Cheerios but also Cinnamon Toast Crunch®, pretzels, and dried apples.
After melting the butter, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Pour over the cereals and pretzels and mix. Microwave for one minute and mix again. Repeat once more.
Spread out on a baking sheet to cool. When cool, drizzle some melted white chocolate over the top.
