From TikTok to the table, snackleboxes are like everywhere, and we're totally obsessed. They're an easy way to elevate our snacking game, and frankly their layouts let us put our Pinterest skills to work. Best part though? Snackleboxes aren’t just a social media trend. They’re a great way to toss together an array of foods for road trip snacks, a busy day on the go with the kids, movie nights, sideline snacks, and more. (Personally I love packing these for after hiking with my teens!)

First, what are snackle boxes?

Pretty much exactly what they sound like - a small bento box or tackle box-style organizer full of a variety of snacks. Their separate compartments make them easy to customize (and clean!), the portion sizes are small so you're not filling up on a whole bag of chips in one sitting, and the various compartments allow wet and dry foods from touching each other because #IYKYK especially with kids. 


Before diving in, you're going to need the perfect snackle box. Here are our two faves from Amazon:

1. The OG box everyone loves:

2. The one with extra deep containers


Here are some Seasonal Snacklebox Ideas…

Summer Snackleboxes:

  • Beach Day Bliss: Load it up with hydrating fresh fruits like watermelon, cucumbers, and strawberries, crunchy snacks like pretzels, goldfish crackers, and peanuts and some sweet treats that won't melt in the sun, like marshmallows, gummy bears, and Skittles. 

  • Sunshine Snack Attack: Let's turn your snacklebox into a mini picnic paradise! Fill it with a mix of fun-to-eat munchies like mini sandwiches, carrot sticks, and maybe some frozen grapes for a cool twist. 

  • Red, White, and Yum: Whether it's the 4th of July or Memorial Day, turn your snacklebox into a patriotic party! Add in some red and blue berries, white cheddar popcorn, and maybe some star-shaped cookies for that extra touch of Americana. 

Fall Snackleboxes:

  • Harvest Happenings: Pack your snacklebox so that it’s bursting with all the flavors of fall—crisp apples, cinnamon-spiced nuts, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and maybe a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds for that seasonal twist. 

  • Game Days Glory: When game day rolls around, whip up a touchdown. Load up this snacklebox with fan favorite snacks like mini sandwiches, veggie sticks with hummus, roasted peanuts, pretzels, cheese cubes, and slices of pepperoni and salami.

  • Thanksgiving Feast: Ah, Thanksgiving—let's talk gratitude and good eats! Create a snack box that's like a mini feast, with slices of turkey, cranberry sauce for dipping, soft cheeses, crackers, and maybe a touch of something sweet like chocolate-covered pretzels for dessert.

Spring Snackleboxes:

  • Easter Eggstravaganza: Picture this—a snacklebox bursting with colors and flavors just like Easter eggs. Fill it up with treats like colorful fruits, mini cupcakes, mini carrots, and maybe a surprise or two like bunny-shaped cookies. 

  • All Greens: Spring is all about blooming, so here are a few Spring things perfect for green-focused snack boxes - peas, green onions, swiss chard, and kale. Use the rest of the adjustable dividers for a few fun dips! 

  • Spring Fling Fiesta: For those sunny spring picnics or backyard gatherings, pack a snack box with light and refreshing nibbles. Load it with cucumber slices, hummus, mini sandwiches, and some string cheese bites.

Winter Snackleboxes:

  • Merry and Bright Festivities: Whether it's Christmas, Hanukkah, or another holiday celebration, a snacklebox is a fun way to spread festive cheer. Fill it with tasty treats like sugar cookies, chocolate-covered pretzels, cranberries, and maybe even a mini bottle of bubbly to toast to the season. Hack alert: Snackle boxes also make for the perfect party-portable charcuterie board in a pinch!

  • New Year's Eve Bash: Ring in the New Year with a snacklebox that's dressed to impress. Load it up with mini party snacks like sliders, shrimp cocktail bites, and some poppers (both the food and the confetti kind!) for a night of fun and deliciousness.

  • Winter Wonderland Staycation: Can't travel to a snowy destination this year? This might be a bit of a stretch but why not bring your favorite winter wonderland to your living room with a snacklebox packed with favorite foods from your favorite spot? For me, it's northern Michigan so I'm thinking hot cocoa packets, marshmallows, homemade cookies, and chips like Great Lakes Potato Co.
