23 Road Trip Snacks to Keep Morale High and Your Hands On the Wheel

A road trip is not a road trip without snacks. That's a fact. Whether your little brother Kevin is hogging the party mix in the backseat, or you're repeatedly taking handfuls of spiced nuts from the cupholder while everyone else snoozes, an accessible elevated car snack can turn the doldrums of highway hypnosis into a Mary Poppins display of magically enthusiastic scenery (if things actually appear to be animated, those were not the right snack bars). When the smallest offense starts a fight (do not touch my shoulder, Kevin), a snack-packed arsenal is the answer. Do yourself a favor and whip up a few batches of these pilgrimage-worthy snacks to share with the crew ahead of time. One hand on the wheel, one hand on the chocolate coconut date bar, as they say.
