sweet n salty caramel snack mix
Be prepared, if you are going to make this mix. It is quite addictive! We have used several different cereal mixes, including all Chex cereals, and Life cereal. We also love to use pretzel spinzel sticks, as a different version, but really any hard pretzels can be used. Enjoy!
