I love that this recipe is so easy to make and the kids absolutely love it! It is a combination of sweet, savory and gummy – my children’s three favorite food groups. This Under the Sea Mermaid Popcorn Snack Mix would make a great snack to bring to Girl Scouts or a playdate too.

If you think this is cute have a look at my Mermaid Tails too. This chocolate covered pretzel treat is a great addition for all the Mermaid parties being thrown this year! There is also a fun way to make Mermaid Slime as well as a Mermaid Bookmark. If you can’t tell by now, I have a mermaid lover in my home too!

I love making fun and colorful food for my kids- especially when it is for a birthday party or for a special treat. Seeing their eyes light up at what we made for them is always a warm feeling for my heart.
