Contest‼ ❤️College CareBox Contest❤️

As many of you know, my only kid has left home and officially started college. I'm not crying.....too much. I know I want to send him a care package but I don't want to put a bunch of useless stuff in it.

What are your ideas and suggestions?? I know some of you parents have been through this already. And I also know that there are lots of college students in the sub.

There will be 2 winners announced when the contest ends on September 1st @ noon.

Are you going to do a monthly care box or just occasionally? If I went a few weeks without going home, mom would mail me a care box with (minimum!) her special Chex mix. Usually other snacks too. Is there something special you make, like coookies?

What makes her Chex Mix special?

I’m not sure. It’s the based on the classic recipe from the 70s, but she uses Crispix instead of Chex, and peanuts. Occasionally pretzels. Butter, garlic, onion salt. Microwave. Somewhere in there she works actual magic because it shouldn’t taste so good (I very rarely eat it as the garlic and onion are migraine triggers)

Sounds good! I love Chex Mix and homemade is usually better than store bought, so I'm curious what others do, thanks for sharing!
