Nuts and bolts!

Otherwise known by most as Chex mix. But it’s not your basic recipe from the back of the cereal box.

My mom has been making this for probably 45 years — though now it’s on a much smaller scale than before. She gifts each family a small container every Christmas and it’s never enough… So this year I decided to make some myself! I’ve made it before but it was so long ago I can’t even remember when it was.

The best part about making it yourself is putting in whatever you want! This is what I chose (the last box is peanuts).

All buttered and seasoned and ready to bake!

Laying out to cool…just like mom does on brown paper bags!

To be honest it wasn’t the best, but it was still damn addictive. I bagged up 7 small bags for some of the moms and the rest was gone within a week!
