How to Make Chick Trail Mix

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, combine the Cherrios®, raisins, pretzels, peanuts and chocolate chips.

  2. Step 2

    With a paring knife, cut the carrot in thin slices. From the slices, cut 18 sticks (about 2 inches each), 6 triangle shapes (for the chicks’ beaks), and 12 semicircles (for the chicks’ feet).

  3. Step 3

    Arrange a pineapple slice on a plate. Use 2 chocolate chips for the chick’s eyes, a carrot triangle for the nose, 2 carrot semicircles for the “feet” and 3 carrot sticks for the crown.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange some trail mix under the pineapple slice so it resembles a nest. Repeat with remaining pineapple slices, carrot pieces and trail mix.
