Just as fishing enthusiasts have their tackle boxes to organize everything they need for a day on the lake, kids who love bite-sized eats can have snackle boxes to organize the day’s treats.
Food-safe containers with many small compartments are the perfect space for endless snack combinations. Fun to say and even more fun to eat, a snackle box is a great way to pack a huge variety of foods into a small space. The flavour combinations are totally customizable, so everyone gets their favourites. Toss in a handful of crackers, chop a pepper into pieces, and cut a block of cheese into cubes – anything goes, as long as it’s bite-sized.
