If you are like me, then you love snacks. I am always looking for new and interesting snacks to try, and when I heard about the snackle box trend, I knew I had to check it out. Snackle boxes are basically just a fun way to refer to snack boxes that are perfect for traveling. They are great because they allow you to have all of your favorite snacks with you without having to pack a bunch of different containers. In this blog post, we will discuss what a snackle box is, the different types available, and how to make your own!

What is a Snackle Box?

A snackle box is essentially a compartmentalized box filled with snacks, and oftentimes a tackle box (otherwise used for fishing) is used. These snack boxes are perfect for taking on the go and can be used as an alternative to bringing a large bag of snacks along with you. These are perfect for a variety of summer and winter activities with no need for any sort of recipe to follow.

The term Snackle Box is a play on words between the words Snack and Tackle coining the term Snackle.

Snackle boxes are becoming more popular as people look for healthier alternatives to eating out or grabbing fast food. They are great for packing snacks for kids, too! Kids love a variety of foods so it’s fun for them to have lots of options when snacking. They are perfect for a day at the beach or any other summer activity you’ve got planned.

You can purchase food to serve a crowd or save money and use what you have at home. Nothing makes eating more fun for children than when it’s it’s presented in a cute way!

How Do You Make a Snackle Box?

One of the best parts about creating a snackle box is how customizable it is. Depending on the size of the tackle box you use, your imagination is the limit! You can customize it completely to the activity as well as the people that will be eating it.

When considering what type of tackle box to use, choose one that has an adjustable compartment assortment. This will make it easier for you to fit a variety sized foods.

The best part is that you can easily throw in remaining snacks into your tackle boxes and you don’t even have to go to the store but you can finish off those pesky last few crackers. No recipe is required, and they’re perfect for your next road trip.

To make a snackle box, you can either pull out leftovers from the pantry or the fridge, or you can sit down and plan out what snacks you’ll be putting into your snackle box. You can choose your kids favorite snacks and surpise them with this fun treat box.

If you want to customize it, you can add a note on the lid to help children determine whose is whose. You can handwrite it with sharpie markers or you can cut out a cute font using adhesive vinyl and a vinyl cutting machine.

Different Types of Snackle Boxes

Snackle boxes have a wide variety of themes to them that you can make as casual or fancy as you’d like. Just try and pick snacks that are smaller in size so they can fit inside the tackle box. If you need to, you can also break cookies or other larger items into smaller pieces to make them fit.

Here are some fun snackle box ideas:

• Sweet Treats: Mini Chocolate bars, candy, gummy bears, marshmallows, or anything else that’s sweet and sugary.

• Salty Snacks: Potato chips, pretzels, popcorn, crackers, cheese puffs, and more.

• Healthy Options: Raspberries, blackberries, olives, baby carrots, and other fresh produce.

• Charcuterie boards: cheeses, meat, olives, nuts, baguette, honey, etc.

My favorite snackle box idea is to have a variety of sweet and salty snacks that don’t need to be refrigerated. The snack options are still vast but it keeps everything low maintenance and you can customize it by what snacks are on hand and can be customized for each kid.

How do you Keep a Snackle Box Cold?

If you’re going somewhere with your snackle box, it’s important to keep the contents cold. You can use a cooler for this or freeze some of the snacks before packing them into your tackle box. Fruits like grapes and strawberries can easily be frozen beforehand in ziplock bags. Other items like cheese sticks and vegetables can also be kept cold by putting an ice pack on the top or the bottom of the tackle box inside a cooler.

If you don’t have a way to keep the filling cold, then opt for food ideas that don’t need to be refrigerated.
