Happy fall! Today I’m sharing a super simple recipe for a cute and fun Fall Snack Mix. I love it when I can throw something impressive looking together and spend almost zero time on it. It’s great for kids but adults will love it as well.
This Fall Snack Mix is totally customizable and looks pretty all mixed in a big bowl, but you could also make individual baggies for trick-or-treaters or a Halloween party favor.
For this recipe, I used just seven ingredients:
- Kettle Corn or popcorn of choice (I used Boom Chika Pop since it’s a little healthier but this recipe would be super cute using Hallowen-colored candy coated popcorn)
- Cereal (I used Cinnamon Life cereal but other good options are Cinnamon Chex, Golden Grahams, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or a good organic choice is Cascadian Farms Cinnamon Crunch)
- Pretzels
- Mini Marshmallows
- Candy Corn
- Candy Corn Pumpkins (or you can get the combo bag called Autumn Mix that contains the corn and the pumpkins)
- Reese’s Pieces
This Fall Snack Mix has a great flavor with sweet and salty kettle corn mixed with cinnamon cereal and pretzels. And the marshmallows, candy corn, and Reese’s Pieces give it a nice texture.
To mix, just layer everything in a bowl, putting the smaller candies on top so they don’t immediately fall to the bottom.
I hope you’ll add my Fall Snack Mix to your fall rotation. Let me know if you try it by tagging #allthekingsmorsels and @allthekingmorsels on social media!

So it’s the end of Kindergarten for my oldest son and boy has it been a whirlwind! I’m excited to be with him all day and not have to sign so much stuff and return library books and help with homework and maybe (big maybe) sleep past 6:30am! But, I will have my hands full with two rambunctious little boys 24/7!
The Smoothie.
This smoothie is simple to make and contains just five ingredients:
If you’ve never had matcha before I think a mint chocolate matcha smoothie is a great way to start! If you try it be sure to tag #allthekingsmorsels and @allthekingsmorsels on social media. I’d love to hear what you think!
Ah, granola! You’re so very versatile and make my mornings easier. My husband grew up having granola with milk for breakfast and I mainly like it as a topping on yogurt or a bowl of oatmeal. The kids love it too, but I had never actually made it myself at home…until now! Meet my version: chocolate banana granola!
When thinking about a recipe, I knew wanted to combine some flavors we all really love, like chocolate and bananas, but I also wanted to include some extra good for you stuff, like almonds, raw honey, and chia seeds.
The result is a really flavorful batch of crunchy, chocolatey granola that my kids immediately stuck their hands in. The ingredients are few and simple:
Making homemade granola turned out to be even easier than I imagined. The first eight ingredients get mixed up in a bowl and then baked (everything except the banana chips and chocolate chips) and that makes for your base recipe. After it comes out of the oven you can really make it your own by mixing in additional ingredients. In this case I chose banana chips and chocolate chips but you could add dried fruits, coconut, etc. Feel free to make it your own!
Granola also smells amazing while it’s baking! One thing I learned is that it can quickly go from smelling awesome to smelling burnt! I recommend checking it every 10 minutes to make sure it’s not getting too done.
I hope you love this banana chocolate granola. Let me know if you try it by tagging @allthekingsmorsels and using the hashtag #allthekingsmorsels. I’d love to hear your favorite granola flavor combinations in the comments below.
Howdy everyone! Who loves chocolate? And who loves chocolate that’s acceptable to eat for snacks and not just dessert? Look no further than Chocolate Oat Bites!
But before I get into the recipe, I have some exciting news to share with you. Today is my first day of school! I am studying nutrition in a year-long program at 
OK, now back to chocolate! Does anyone remember those no bake cookies with chocolate, peanut butter, and oats? I had them all the time growing up and still make them regularly today. The recipe I use is from an old church cookbook, which is my absolute favorite kind of book. I have a bit of an addiction and love to collect them. Seriously…if you have any you are looking to get rid of send them my way!
So these Chocolate Oat Bites are a take on the classic no bake cookies but with some healthy substitutions. You can throw these together in about 10 minutes and they only require 7 ingredients to make:
These little bites are perfect for lunch boxes or after school snacks. My kids love them! They’re also great when you’re running out the door and realize you fed your family and forgot to feed yourself. #momlife
Speaking of healthy substitutions, I have seen people make their no bake cookies and other recipes with coconut oil instead of butter. This is totally fine and you could do this to make the recipe vegan. I happen to think a high quality butter is good for you (and delicious) so I use it! It’s all about what works for you and your family.

It’s fall, ya’ll! Ok…well…almost. And it’s still kind of hot here in Richmond. But it is September, all the littles have gone back to school, and football has started. So that means it’s time for pumpkin everything! I am like so many that get totally obsessed with anything pumpkin flavored this time of year. If I can eat it for every meal, I will! And I happen to think muffins are pretty great for any meal or snack! That’s why my pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are so awesome. They’re a portable sweet treat that’s perfect anytime. And the best part is that they only contain 3 simple ingredients! All you need is:
I make these muffins several times every fall season, and I’ve been asked for the recipe so many times that I’ve started writing it on the container when I take them somewhere. They are delicious and taste like they must be from scratch. But no. Because that’s just not how I roll!
To make the muffins, you simply dump the ingredients into a bowl and mix. You don’t even need to use a mixer. Just a wooden spoon works great. But don’t over mix. I find that pumpkin, much like banana, can get a little gummy if mixed too much.
Then just spoon the mixture into a muffin pan (can be lined with muffin/cupcake tins or not), and fill each cup to the top. You can swirl the top with a spoon to make it prettier if you like. The way they look going in is pretty much how they will look coming out.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees and let cool. It’s that simple. Your family will thank you for these! And as far as being healthy, you can’t go wrong with pumpkin. Pumpkin is nutrient and mineral rich, containing vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, to name a few. For the spice cake mix, instead of using the main brands that you see at your grocery store that contain enriched flour, corn syrup, and lots of sugar, look for an organic or natural brand. Full Circle brand (I have seen this at Lowe’s Foods) makes an organic version and you can also buy a gluten free version from Namaste Foods via Amazon. For the chocolate chips you can use milk, semisweet, or cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips to get the sugar down a bit. Anything will work!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are an ooey, gooey taste of the pumpkin season! This is also the perfect kind of recipe to let the kids help with. Hope you love them as much as we do!
