Here I am at a live food demonstration for Simon Malls mixing it up with Jill from the Association of Junior Leagues International.  (notice her "Kids In The Kitchen" apron)  We had kids from the audience come up and add their favorite ingredients from a lot of different ones on the table.  Fun, easy, yummy stuff !

Get different ingredients out and mix them in a large bowl.  Don't add too much of any one ingredient.  Divide into plastic zipper bags to store for later or just eat it now.  This makes for a inexpensive, healthy snack you can take with you most places. 

What is fun about this is that is takes no cooking and everyone can make their own variations if each family member has their own mixing bowl.  If you don't like an ingredient don't add it to your mix. 

Also, you can have a mixing party where you have friends over and everyone brings two ingredients (even ones not on this list -- be creative).  Try to come up with unique combinations and try other people's mixes, too.  You can even vote on who made the best.
