12. My grandmas recipe for Chex Mix

Mon Dec 9, 2019, 08:37 PM

Dec 2019

I think it’s the original from the 50s. Rice Chex, Cheerios, pretzels, peanuts baked with the butter and spices. I usually make 3 turkey roasters full for parties etc. I would weigh a LOT more if I made it year-round. http://www.bigoven.com/recipe/chex-cheerios-snack-mix/226980 Chex-Cheerios Snack Mix
