Notes

Cheetos
Popcorn
Goldfish Crackers

STORAGE

Once it’s completely cooled store it in the a air tight container. It will last for up to two weeks, but tastes the best when enjoyed in the first 2-3 days.

It’s also freezer friendly. Cool the mixture completely then store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. We recommend a hard sided container instead of a bag so it doesn’t get crushed in the freezer.

EXPERT TIPS

When stirring make sure to use a gently hand so you don’t end up with a bunch of broken cereal.
Play around with the seasonings or even add garlic powder etc.
Make sure to stir while baking so it doesn’t burn and scorch. This isn’t optional!
Package it up in a festive tin and give it for gifts around the holidays.
You can mix and match the cereals and add ins as long as you have about 10 cups of them total.
