Snack mix: No mixed reviews
Food Columnist This week's recipe for Caramel Chex Mix is an easy, delicious, crowd-pleaser that I had never tasted before I got the recipe.
The recipe came highly recommended from a dear friend, Tricia, who couldn't say enough about this snack mix. I have put out bowls of it at parties and potlucks and I have yet to meet someone who doesn't love it.
This recipe is definitely a safe bet for those who want to bring something that everyone will love.
Caramel Chex Mix
12 ounces corn chips
17 ounces Crispex cereal
1 can mixed nuts
