Crock Pot Chex Mix ~ Simple and Delicious Chex Mix Loaded with Cheerios, Pretzels, Peanuts and Chex Made in your Crock Pot!
Today is a fabulous fall day once again minus the wind. I could really do without that, but I’ll take the warm weather. I looked at the forecast and kind of wanted to cry. Halloween calls for 47 degrees. Insert frowning face here for sure. My hubs looked at me as I whined and said you know it’s going to get cold at some point. Well, yes I suppose I do but I admit I’m in denial. I’m soaking up the gorgeous weather and totally ignoring the fact November is on the horizon.
I may be possibly ignoring this due to the fact that I can’t get my winter jacket zipped anymore. So really I’m in it for the practicality of not buying another jacket. I’ll free before I do that or where the hub’s jacket which is huge, huge, huge on me. So If you see a pregnant lady wandering around in a men’s jacket in the next month that’s just me. Smile, look the other direction and don’t say anything ok? Glad we had that chat. I’m sooo over buying maternity clothes. I’m kinda over wearing them to until I think of wearing pants with a real waist band again. There’s something to say about elastic. To bad that’s not really in fashion huh? There’s also something about not having to suck in your tummy while pregnant. You know that moment someone goes to take a picture and you are thinking ahhhhh this shirt is not so flattering. That moment does not exist this far along in the pregnancy. Let it all hang out. It’s the one time you look cute with a big belly. Embrace it my friends.
Speaking of clothes how on earth did I forget how adorable baby clothes are? My wallet is not liking this realization again. I started going through newborn clothes and washing them up soon to realize having children in opposite seasons was not my best move, but that means this Momma is going to get to shop more. Hopefully this time around I have a boy and then I can rationalize the fact I need all new outfits obviously. I might feel a little guilty buying new clothes when I have tons of girls clothes, except they might all be in the wrong season!
With the holidays coming up I made you this awesome snack mix. Awesome is right. You know you have those parties where you must bring something and this is perfect to set out on the goodie table. It’s not a sweet but it’s perfect when you have the munchies because really there is only so many cookies you can eat right? Or so I’m telling you!
This snack mix is loaded with pretzels, chex, peanuts, and Cheerios and seasoned just perfect. You are going to love it!

I will most definitely be drowning my cold weather sorrows in this fabulous chex mix. I think we were spoiled with the gorgeous October weather this year. I thought that maybe this was the year the kids would get a break and have a somewhat “warm” time trick or treating… gotta love MN ;)!
