with a big spoon or your hands until everything is evenly mixed.
Toss. Tossing means gently lifting and turning food so everything gets coated, like pasta in sauce or vegetables in oil. It coats every piece evenly without mashing anything.

Scoop it into small bags or jars, about ⅓ cup each, so a snack is easy to grab.

How you’ll know: It feels cool, not cold, and butter dents easily when you press it.
Dolly’s tip: Chocolate melts in a hot car, so keep a bag in your desk instead.
