Holiday Snacking the Chex Mix Way

When it comes to holiday snacking there are sweets and sours everywhere you look. My personal favorite is when I can combine a few ingredients and whip up a delicious snack with my kids in a matter of minutes. Chex Mix is great because it’s easily made and something the whole family will enjoy.

This year my oldest son (he is 5) has really gotten into making crafts and baking with me. It was really fun to make this Sugar Cookie Chex Mix and then enjoy it snuggled together on the couch while watching a fun Christmas movie. It’s those memories I make with him now, that will last a lifetime.

You can find Chex Mix and ingredients to make your own Chex Mix at your local grocery store. You can also visit the Chex Mix Website and follow them on: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

So how will you be making holiday memories this year?
