Caramelized Snack Mix
It seems I am always in need of Snack Mix’s in my home. From family to guests stopping in I love being able to pull out a snack mix and sit down to catch up. One snack mix I just adore is Caramelized Snack Mix. Making a big batch of this ensures I am always ready for company.
I love Chex. It’s the one ingredient I seem to always have a box or two of. Chex is so versatile for sweet or savory and anything in between.

How much chef cereal do you use?
I used 8 cups Barb. Will update to reflect that.
I would love to make the red velvet chex party mix. We love red velvet cake and this would be a neat alternative to the cake this year;)
The Sugar Cookie Chex Mix sounds delicious!
