Substitutions and Variations

- You could use cheese puff balls! Even Gold Fish Crackers would work.
- Check out how this one blogger made her Carrot Treat Bags using cheddar cheese popcorn! Heidi made a cute carrot top as well!
Storage Tips
- Store your treat bags in the pantry or in a closet for up to 2 weeks.
- The candy pieces would last longer than crackers or popcorn which tend to go stale faster.
Top Tip
- You can tie the ribbon in a bow or a simple double knot.
- Cut the ribbon at an angle to make a pretty "V" shape.

Hi! Excited to make these for my Peter Rabbit themed baby shower 🙂 I'm curious if you know how many oz you put in each bag? Having a hard time visualizing whether I should be getting the 2lb or 5lb bag. Will be making ~30-40 favors and don't need them too big. Thanks!

Consider using the 10 ounce sized treat bags I link to in the recipe card, and to ensure the treat bags look full and festive, plan on purchasing 3 to 4 (15 oz) bags of orange M&M's, depending on how full you want them. If you prefer less candy per bag, you could use 3 bags, but for a fuller look, 4 bags would be ideal.
