Our family is a big fan of snack mixes, our favorite is the Chex Party Mix, but really any kind we love. So when I spotted this Savory Pretzel Snack Mix recipe, I knew we would enjoy snacking on it, and it would make great gifts from the kitchen. That is why I am sharing this with you today so that you will also experience the richness of this snack.

With simple ingredients, most of which you probably have on hand, you can whip up a batch of this Snack Mix in no time. And it can even be made up ahead, which is perfect during this busy Holiday season!

These cute little buckets are perfect for a man or woman. And although I love the Savory Pretzel Snack Mix in them, you could fill them with just about any special treat from your kitchen.

Treat Buckets Supplies

  • Buckets – we found these Metal Bucket Pails with Chalkboard at Walmart, in the floral department for less than $2 each

Embellishments

  • Man Bucket – small screwdrivers and a tape measure
  • Woman Bucket – silver monogram ornament

For the Woman’s Bucket, I used glue to attach the ribbon around the bucket and added the monogram with glue also.
