Snack Mix ~ This Snack Mix is like CRACK! So Addictive and Delicious! Full of Cereal, Pretzels, Peanuts, M&Ms and Raisins! Perfect for Christmas and Holiday Parties!
I have all these wonderful posts for you after my baking and snack frenzy I went on for the holidays and my camera cord is no were to be found. Seriously. It’s such a horrible thing. I went and ordered a new one because I don’t know where it is. Hopefully it gets here soon so I can continue my posting.
I remember having it a week ago and I think it will turn up so I just keep waiting, and looking, and waiting. I have this thing called “Baby Brain”. I never believe all my friends that claimed this existed. Whenever they talked about being pregnant and forgetful I just thought to myself, “Oh sure it’s just an excuse so you can blame it on something.”
WELL was I wrong! My hubby asked if I’d found it…I informed him no. He told me to look next to the buttons and my bonus check from work, as I have lost those too.
Bet my mind is right next too them!
Ok enough about me and my forgetfulness. This recipe is wonderful. I always make it around Christmas time, but it would be great for a snack anytime. The recipe was handed down to me but my Grandma and Great Aunt Eunice. Now even my sister-in-law recognizes this snack mix for a holiday treat. When it graced my mom’s table she was saying “Ohhh that yummy snack mix!”.
Plus it simple. I mean it uses a grocery bag to mix it in so there’s hardly any clean up involved. I’m telling you my Grandma was a genius to snap this one up!

Do you happen to have oven instructions instead of microwave? I prefer not to use microwave. Thanks!
Julie Evink says
My best guess is to do this like caramel corn, but I haven’t tested it – Put on jelly roll pans and bake in the oven at 250 degrees for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes.
yuuko aioi says
what is the purpose of the baking soda?
Julie Evink says
So the caramel mixture doesn’t get as hard when it cools.
Julie says
