Happy Wednesday everybody!! Gosh, we’re getting this close to The Super Bowl, and let’s face it, unless your team is in the game this year the best part is the food.
It’s also all the good stuff too, dips, chips, handheld, mini etc., it’s just always a wonderful hodge podge of food, yum, yum, yummy. So guess what, today’s recipe will fit perfectly into your Super Bowl Sunday food fest.
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before what a huge fan of sweet & salty I am, so this Chex Mix is just amazing, the Chex cereal coated in the delicious cooked sugar then the saltiness added by the nuts, soo good y’all.
I used cashews because they’re a personal favorite but feel free to use whatever kind you like, and same with the peanut M&M’s, they have so many different kinds now you could totally experiment. I hope you can make some of this salty & sweet Chex Mix soon, and have a wonderful day y’all!
Mix together your Chex Cereal & cashews…
butter, corn syrup and sugar…
nice and bubbly, now take off heat and add baking soda and vanilla…
