If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know I’m over at Schnucks grocery store about once a day. So I’m always amazed when I see something in there I’ve never noticed before and that happened the other day.
I was wandering down an aisle and I just happened to notice that they have a signature line of snacks called, “Easy Snacking.”
I figured that I’d choose three of these “Easy Snacks” for this week’s snacking post and so that’s exactly what I did.
That certainly was easy!

Schnucks Grocery Store
Here we are at the familiar stop for food and snacks: Schnucks Grocery Store on University Street. Let’s go inside and grab this week’s snacking supplies!
I entered the store and made my way to aisle 8, the aisle designated for Snack Nuts and that’s exactly what I am, a Snack Nut! I think I prove that every stinking Friday!
Here’s the “Easy Snacking” section. Let’s choose a trio of snacks and head on back to the MBIP World Headquarters.

Easy Snacking Snack Number One: Monster Cookie Trail Mix
The ingredients for the Monster Cookie Trail Mix are: Dark Chocolate Chip Granola, Sea Salted Roasted Peanuts, M&M’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Candies, Pecans and Semi-Sweet Chocolate.
I like the look of this snack and it’s a tasty treat! It’s a perfect mix of salty and sweet and the textures from the peanuts and candy are nice.
A true Easy Snacking treat and highly recommended.

Easy Snacking Snack Number Two: Asian Mix
The ingredients for the Asian Mix are: Spicy Japanese Peanuts, Seasoned Peanuts, Hot Wasabi Peas, Honey Sesame Sticks, Garlic Wonton and Edamame.
I’m a little leery of some of these ingredients…but it’s too late to turn back now!
I have to say that I don’t like to see the color green in my snack mixes and I’m not a fan of peas and/or edamame which are soybeans.
This is a salty and savory type of snack, but I would never eat it again!

Easy Snacking Snack Number Three: Everything Peanut Butter Trail Mix
The ingredients for the Everything Peanut Butter Trail Mix are: Chocolate Flavored Mini Peanut Butter Cups, M&M’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Candies, Confectionary Coated Cereal, Sea Salted Roasted Peanuts and Milk Chocolate Buckeyes.
I enjoyed this but the only critique I have of it is that it’s a little too sweet. There’s peanuts but you don’t really taste them, all the flavor is peanut butter and chocolate.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not horrible, but the winner of this trio is definitely the Monster Cookie Trail Mix!
