my homemade chex snack mix
I remember having this as a teenager in the 70s. Very yummy. Then they came out with pre-made mix. It just wasn't the same as homemade. I recently started making it for game night, but I only stuck with the recipe for the first batch. Then I got creative. This is the recent product.
