My sister and I started making chex mix back when we lived together during college. We added our favorite snacks rather than just regular pretzels and peanuts. Since then, it has become my go-to snack recipe for long weekends.

Opening weekend for hunting season made for the perfect time to make a big batch. I sent some along with my husband for him and his boys and kept the rest for my girlfriends who came over for potluck appetizers and wine. 

What ingredients do you love to see in your snack mix?

Notes

1. When preparing the chex mix, I like to use a large Tupperware bowl with a lid, so that I can shake the snack mix and butter mixture together. That way everything gets evenly coated.
