A Portable, Packable Gift for Dads Who Deserve the Best

This Father’s Day, skip the ties and go straight for something he’ll actually use and love — a custom-built Snackle Box!

A Snackle Box is a portable, organized tackle-box-style container packed with Dad’s favorite snacks. Whether he’s headed out to the ballfield, hitting the trail for a hike, casting a line at the lake, or just relaxing in the backyard, this DIY snack box is the ultimate grab-and-go gift that shows your appreciation in the tastiest way possible.

And, with a little help from Collin Street Bakery, you can take your Snackle Box from “just snacks” to gourmet, Southern-style goodness.

What is a Snackle Box?

A Snackle Box is a clever play on a traditional tackle box — but instead of fishing lures and hooks, it’s filled with bite-sized, ready-to-eat snacks. Each compartment holds a different treat, making it easy to munch on the go.

Snackle Boxes are ideal for:

Fishing trips

Camping weekends

Baseball games

Long drives or road trips

Picnics and park days

Backyard Father’s Day celebrations

They’re practical, portable, and personal — everything a great Father’s Day gift should be.

Why a Snackle Box Makes the Ultimate Father’s Day Gift

1. It’s Customizable
You know what your dad likes — and what he doesn’t. From sweet to savory, or spicy to crunchy, you can build a box that suits his exact tastes.

2. It’s Reusable
Dad can keep using the box long after the snacks are gone. Fill it with tools, tackle, or—better yet—more snacks.

3. It’s Instagram-worthy
Okay, maybe Dad isn’t into posting pics, but we guarantee you will want to share a shot of your perfectly packed, colorful box. It’s a creative gift that feels thoughtful and unique.

4. It’s Packed with Love
More than anything, it’s a gesture of appreciation. You’re saying, “I see you. I know you. And you deserve a snack break.”

How to Build the Perfect Father’s Day Snackle Box

You don’t need to be a chef or a Pinterest pro. Follow this simple formula to create a snackle box your dad will rave about. Here’s what to include:

1. Picolos Pickles – A Tangy Southern Twist
No snackle box is complete without something briny and bold. Picolos Pickles are hand-packed, crisp, and full of flavor. They add that vinegary punch that cuts through richer bites and keeps things interesting.

These aren't your average pickles — they're Texas-style, made with a little Southern flair and a lot of love. Whether he prefers dill, spicy, or sweet, Picolos Pickles are the pickle-lover's pick.

2. Energy Bars – Keep Him Fueled 
Energy bars are a functional filler for any snack box, perfect for hiking, fishing, or tackling yard work. Made with 100% plant-based ingredients, these bars are free from gluten, soy, and dairy. They deliver natural sweetness from fruit and a satisfying crunch from premium pecans, offering a wholesome, energizing alternative to traditional snacks.

 Each bar is packed with North American pecans, known for their rich flavor and nutritional boost. High in protein, fiber, and antioxidants, they provide clean, long-lasting energy Dad can count on.

 3. Brittles – For the Sweet Tooth
Every dad deserves a little sweetness. Our Collin Street Bakery Brittles are a crunchy, nutty delight made with premium ingredients and time-honored recipes.

Whether it’s Peanut Brittle or our Southern-style Pecan Brittle, these bite-sized chunks of sweet, buttery goodness are perfect for snacking while watching the game or relaxing in the shade.

4. Pecan Cake Bites – A Texas Tradition
Tiny but mighty, our famous Pecan Cake Bites are a must-have for any Father’s Day snackle box.

These rich, fruit-and-nut-filled bites are a mini version of our world-renowned DeLuxe® Fruitcake, made with buttery pecans, juicy pineapple, and sweet cherries. They pack tons of flavor into each bite — and they’re just the right size for a sweet nibble on the go.

Pro tip: Chill them for extra refreshment on a hot summer day.

 5. Summer Sausage – The Savory Anchor
For a hearty, satisfying snack, summer sausage is king. It pairs beautifully with cheese, nuts, and crackers, and its long shelf-life means it’s ready when Dad is.

Opt for smoked or peppered varieties to add a punch of flavor and complement the sweet elements of the snackle box.

6. Cheeses – Creamy & Classic
Balance out the bold flavors with cubes or wedges of cheese. Hard cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or pepper jack work great in a Snackle Box since they hold up well outside the fridge for a few hours.

Bonus: Pair slices of cheese with brittles or cake bites for an unexpectedly delicious sweet-savory combo.

7. Nuts – The Crunchy Finisher
Whether roasted, salted, candied, or spicy, nuts are a snack staple. Pecans (our personal favorite!) offer buttery richness and Southern charm, while almonds and cashews add variety and crunch.

Mix a few types for flavor variety — or create your own trail mix blend using dried fruit and chocolate chips for a dad-approved snack mix.
