Easy Trail Mix for Kids Inspired by Missing Link
Have you heard of the new animated film “Missing Link?” We’ve seen the trailers for this new movie a few times on TV and before movies in our local theaters, but I didn’t really pay much attention to it. My girls, on the other hand, laugh every time the trailer comes on, and they’ve been begging me to take them to see it when it comes out.
Last week, I was offered the chance to promote an advanced screening of “Missing Link” at my local AMC Theater in addition to creating a fun recipe or craft related to the movie. I’m excited to share my recipe with you and share how you can score some free tickets for yourself to see “Missing Link.’

- Chocolate (mini chips or chocolate candies)
- Dried fruit
- Granola
- Small crackers (such as Goldfish or Cheez-Its)

Next, once you have selected your ingredients, you can do one of two things. If your children are smaller, parents can pre-mix these snack portions ahead of time.
If your children are older, you can make a “buffet” of sorts and let them choose which ingredients they want in their snack mix. Either way, it’s easy and quick to make!
On the Trail with Mr. Link
I bet you’re wondering how exactly this relates to the movie. Well, check out this fun synopsis for “Missing Link” below:
This April, meet Mr. Link: 8 feet tall, 630 lbs, and covered in fur, but don’t let his appearance fool you… he is funny, sweet, and adorably literal, making him the world’s most lovable legend at the heart of Missing Link, the globe-trotting family adventure from LAIKA. Tired of living a solitary life in the Pacific Northwest, Mr. Link recruits fearless explorer Sir Lionel Frost to guide him on a journey to find his long-lost relatives in the fabled valley of Shangri-La. Along with adventurer Adelina Fortnight, our fearless trio of explorers encounter more than their fair share of peril as they travel to the far reaches of the world to help their new friend. Through it all, the three learn that sometimes you can find a family in the places you least expect.
