Sweet Chex Party Mix

Sharing is caring!

Recently my dad came over to help out in the kitchen while I made two different party mix recipes from Chex cereal and other snack items.  The first Chex party mix I created was a savory blend that included herbs and cheeses. It was delicious for a midday snack before having a more substantial lunch.  However, the big win by popular vote was this tasty sweet treat we made with lots of yummy ingredients. This sweet Chex party mix is fun by the handful.

Welcome to the Party

I love having simple snack foods on hand whenever we have company over, or just to dig into patriotically on those days when Eric and I really have our hands full.  Sleep is something we don’t take for granted these days. Both of the twins are prone to restless nights caused by teeth coming in and possibly not adjusting well to the time change.  Worse yet, they tend to alternate and take shifts keeping us up. Lawson is definitely teething, but Gwendolyn has gotten very whiny as well. She will scream cry at night and whine cry during the day.  With that in mind, we sometimes need to power through the day using little pick me ups like the bags of savory and sweet Chex party mix I was able to quickly make.
