With the super bowl next week, as always people will gather to nosh on all kinds of food while cheering on their favorite team. Hopefully gatherings this year will be safe and limited to close family members. One great casual party food to include is this simple mix from Chex®. It is very tasty and so handy to have on hand.
Ever since a friend gave us a tub for Christmas a few years back, it has become a holiday staple for us. I make a big batch for guests or anyone dropping by. I always add a package to the holiday gift baskets I make up for friends and neighbors.
Good anytime of the year, the recipe makes a lot, is inexpensive, and is more interesting than just a bowl of nuts or chips. I have also made it gluten-free by leaving out the Wheat Chex®, upping the amount of Corn and Rice Chex® and substituting GF pretzels and GF bagel chips.
