Negra’s Night Bag Recipe

December 17, 2025 by Dusty Cavaliere

‘Twas nine days before Christmas and all through the sanctuary not a creature was stirring except . . . Burrito.

The socks were hung on the firehose with care, in hope that fun treats would soon be there.

The chimps were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of night bags danced in their heads.

Especially Negra. She loves night bags, which are a post-dinner treat. The evening wouldn’t be the same without them.

Negra loves night bags so much, she wanted to share her night bag recipe with you for the holidays.

Recipe for night bags

Ingredients: popcorn, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, raisins, sunflower seeds, dried fruit (oranges, apples, pears, strawberries)

Supplies: small brown bags

Directions: mix the ingredients together in a bowl. Scoop about ½ cup of mix into a small brown bag and roll it up tight. Serve before bedtime or anytime.

Optional: decorate and personalize the bags before filling with mix. Here are some examples:

You can make up your own night bag mix with your favorite treats (chocolate, peppermints, marshmallows, pretzels, etc.). Don’t forget, it’s perfect for the neighborhood holiday night bag exchange.

Happy holidays!
Negra

P.S. If you’d like to help fill night bags, we are always in need of more sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and raisins – please see our Amazon wish list. Thank you from all of us!
