Let me know if this situation sounds familiar to anyone. You make dinner, make sure your family gets fed, but realize you don’t have time to feed yourself before you have to run out the door again.
*Raising my hand*
Now, I do my best not to over schedule our days/nights. But things happen. Thankfully there is always time to grab a SNICKERS® to keep the hunger away. Know what else you can grab, that is super quick to make? Chocolate and Peanut Butter SNICKERS® Snack Mix.
Here’s what you need for the snack mix:
7 cups rice squares cereal
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup roasted peanuts
1 cup SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Squares (cut in fourths)
Melt the chocolate according to the directions on the package.
Pour meted chocolate over the rice cereal, stir to make sure the cereal is evenly coated.
Toss chocolate covered cereal with powdered sugar.
Add peanuts and SNICKERS®, stirring to combine.
I know I’m a lot more likely to snap at people when I’m hungry. Teenagers are often guilty of this as well. To go along with the SNICKERS® “Who are you when you’re hungry?” contest I thought it would be fun to make some new kitchen art for our apartment. This is an 11×14 canvas where I sketched the phrase “I’m sorry for what I said when I was hungry” and then filled in the letters. Hopefully it will be a fun reminder to everyone to try extra hard to be nice to each other when we’re hungry.
You can enter the SNICKERS® “Who are you when you’re hungry?” contest by uploading a personal photo or video from your computer, Facebook, Instagram or use the SNICKERS® Meme Generator to create something new! Voting begins at Noon on 5/11/15 and ends at 11:59:59AM ET on 7/15/15.
For a little bit of St. Patrick’s Day fun I added a “Irish I had another bite” label to our snack jar. This would also be a cute way to gift some snack mix to a hungry friend!

Patti Tucker says
I have experienced the hangries before and have always been sorry!
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Thanks, Patti! It’s always nice to know I’m not alone 😉
heathersander says
I get the hangries everyday. I’m not a nice person when I’m hungry.
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Right?! Such a good reason to have plenty of food around the house!
Kathleen says
Oh do I know “hangry pants” as I call it…I have the tendency to go dead silent when the hunger strikes. It is not good and not good to be around me…LOL…with that being said, this looks DELICIOUS! All of my favorites!
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Thanks, Kathleen! I like “hungry pants”! I definitely try to keep the pantry stocked to try to help.
Kelsey says
I am the WORST when I am hungry! These look amazing though! Definitely a must do!
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Me, too! And definitely give the recipe a try! The twins (and I) have been devouring it this week 🙂
Margaret says
I tend to get very cranky when I am hungry!
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
So glad to know I’m in good company! This snack mix has been a life saver with spring break this week 🙂
Sarah @ Seriously, Sarah? says
When I was in college, I used to make something very similar! It was easy because we had to live on campus (in dorms–no kitchens). I never thought to add peanuts. I always used peanut butter. The cut up snickers would be great!
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Thanks, Sarah! The peanuts and cut up SNICKERS® are an amazing addition, I promise 😉
Bethany Everett says
After reading this, my stomach legitimately started grumbling! Irish I could taste without have to make it myself, lol! xx

Thanks, Bethany! And it makes up super quick (plus it makes a large amount)!
Kelly Lorene (@kellylblog) says
Oh. My. Gosh. This looks amazing!!! I’m really sad about it because I’ve been doing so good at eating healthy and I think I might end up throwing it all away just to try some of this!!
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Thanks, Kelly! The kids and I have definitely been enjoying this snack over spring break this week 😉
Bethany Magnie says
All of the above needs to be in my kitchen right now!!!!
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Thanks, Bethany! And yes, it does! 😉

Everyone in this house gets the hangries, pretty much every day! We always have snacks on hand, and this would be a perfect addition to the collection. And even simple enough for me to make! 😉
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
With 3 boys I am a HUGE fan of simple snacks, and ones that make a lot. This fit both! And it’s so good 🙂
burlapandblue says

This is so funny…I’m not at my best when I’m hungry, either! And this snack mix looks amazing!
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Thanks, Kristi! It’s really (really) good 😉
Michele says
My 92 year old Mom is wprse then even I am when she is hungry–you are supposed to eat at 12 noon (lunch)–so what if there is a lot of traffic–go through that light–pass that car!! I generally have a candy bar or two with me to hand her–oh I’m sorry we have to share!! I never let her know that I bought an extra one and ate it before I got back in the car! You really don’t want to know me when I am famished either!!
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Thanks for sharing, Michele! My stomach likes when I keep to an eating schedule, too!
Sonja Pound says
Cute canvas! When I’m super hungry I crave brussels sprouts and veggie burgers. Sometimes beets. Strange I know. Love the design of your site.
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Thanks, Sonja! It’s been a fun new piece to add to the kitchen!

I need to make the sign for my daughter. My gosh, does she get cranky when hungry. I don’t for some reason.

Maybe Meghan says
I’m hungry just looking at this! I love snack mix- I made a peppermint chocolate one for a Christmas party this past December and it was a big hit! Love the little Irish label on the jar, too!
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Thanks, Meghan! I bet it would be really good with a little mint for Christmas!
Natalie says
I know I’ve caught myself saying this quote before. This is a fun snack, but I would totally eat this whole thing in one sitting. lol
Julie is Coco and Cocoa says
Thanks, Natalie! And it makes quite a lot, so you might surprise yourself 😉

I love the art work, especially the quote “I’m Sorry for What I said When I was Hungry” It sounds likes me.

Thanks, Ashley! It was a fun sign to make and I’m loving having it in my kitchen.

I’m evil when I’m hungry and I think it’s getting worse as I get older. A snickers a good way to go to hold yourself over.
