Gifts from the Kitchen, Leopard Wild Snax Jar
Here’s a snack mix that is bound to make you very popular
And guess what? You don’t have to do ANYTHING but open some packages
I know, LAZY, shhhhhhhhh……..
All you need to do is paint a leopard print jar
Random gold shapes,
topped with random brown shapes
Finished with random black dots
Remember to use paint specifically for glass so it can be cured to make it permanent
Now pack your sweet and salty mix in your jar
Make a tag or paint the lid
Tie a little twine or jute around the jar
And voilá! A very welcome Gift from the Kitchen!
Wild Snax
Ingredients
- Peanut Butter Pretzels
- Sesame Sticks
- Cashews
- Pistachio nuts shelled
- chocolate chips
- butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a bowl, adjusting amounts and proportions to your taste. Toss together and pack into jars
Obviously, combinations are endless, make a combination of this and that and create your own signature mix
I painted a lucite frame too, perfect for a photo of one of our wild things…
If you want to paint this leopard print on wood, metal, fabric or any surface except glass, you can use regular acrylic paint or sharpies~
Go Wild!

Jenna, I love snack mixes and simple makes it better! What a great idea for gifts! Have a joy-filled Wednesday!
Blessings,
Pam
Thanks Pam! >
Thanks for the tutorial on painting the jar, Jenna, and for the easy snack mix. Your baby “wild thing” is adorable!!!!
ha, thanks Kitty! >
What a good way to recycle a jar! I love snack mixes–I made a dried fruit and nut mix with chocolate pretzels to take with us on our yard sale trip. Healthy and yummy. I’ll have to find some of those sesame sticks…I’ve never tried them before.
Thanks Judy! I get the sesame sticks at Publix or Fresh Market, I think you’ll love them! >
I love this, creative and wonderful idea!
Jenna, Great idea! I can see this being served in the martini glasses at a party too.

You are talking my language when it’s easy/lazy! And this sounds delish!!! It would also work with the suggestions my nutritionist gave me for weight loss as long as I don’t sit with that pretty jar in my lap!!!
Love the leopard touches! And the mix sounds like a delicious combination! …and I’m all about easy! LOL! 🙂 ~Rhonda
I’m WILD about your painted jar and oversized martini glass! I make a similar mix for my hubby to take on his spring and fall fishing trips but add dried cherries. He like the honey roasted sesame sticks but they’re harder and harder to find 🙂
Your jar is so cute! I’m sure your wild snacks will disappear quickly. I haven’t thought of adding peanut butter pretzels to my snack mix. Yum! Thanks for sharing.
Oh wow…this is so neat!
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
Cute idea! What a fun little gift or party favor. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty – we’re looking forward to what you have to share next week. 🙂
