My two little girls are doing Evan Moore's Folktales & Fairy Tales Literature Pockets. Right now we are on The Three Little Pigs. Ofcourse, we have to add in a few extra activities like this Three Little Pigs Snack Mix.

I believe this recipe originally came from Family Fun magazine, but we changed it a bit. We like to serve it with cupcakes decorated like pigs. My youngest daughter pointed out that we should have wolves too. Maybe next time.

You will need:

• shoestring potatoes
• pretzel sticks
• red licorice
• a clean pair of scissors or kitchen shears
• medium sized bowl

Using the scissors, cut the licorice into  1/2 inch pieces.  Make 1 cup of these "bricks" and add them to your bowl.

Measure 1 cup of pretzel "sticks."  Add to the bowl.

Add 1 cup of shoestring potato "straw" and stir.

Serve and enjoy!
