Memorial Day, the final Monday in May is a day to remember those who died serving in the US Armed Forces. This extended weekend feels like the beginning of summer and is usually celebrated with food and outdoor activities. Provided the weather is nice, grilling, outdoor music, and picnics tend to be favorite activities of those who celebrate this holiday. Here are a few fun snacks to pack in your picnic basket this year.
