Let me just confess that I ate about 4 cups of this stuff all by myself! Whoops… But it’s just so good! A little spicy, a little sweet… it’s perfect 🙂 This is my first Chex Mix to not be sweet like all my 20+ recipes of Puppy Chow and it’s won’t be my last! It’s a perfect snack to make for all the big basketball games coming up!
The Story:
Some girls hate a day of watching sports, but I actually love it. Great couch, great company, great game, maybe yelling at the screen a bit, jumping up when we score.. it’s all perfect. The only downside is my curly head of hair. “Why?” you ask, because every piece of popcorn, chip and Chex Mix somehow ends up in it. I look like a total slob.
Curly hair problems.

This is a really good chex mix. This is the second time that I have made this as my in laws have requested it. It’s not to hot and is really good for the younger kids as well.
