Classic Party Mix
I’m not sure how this Deluxe Chex Party Mix became a must-have holiday snack at our house, but for my entire life, Christmas would not be the same without it.
She added cheese crackers and cheerios, which now seem standard in most recipes I’ve seen.
I make such a large batch that I bake it in a large disposable turkey pan. I freeze it in gallon freezer bags for up to three months.
