Well, the much anticipated Holidays are finally here!!! Yay!!!
One thing that my family always looked forward to was the BIG batch of chex Party Mix I always made just before Thanksgiving.
I'll be continuing that tradition this year- but I think making a half batch instead of a full batch.
I may have to do a couple of substitutions too, depending on what ingredients I can and can't find in the market.
Anyway, This recipe hasn't changed over the years...it's a classic. (Altho a couple of alternate versions have been made and also a couple of sweet versions-none nearly as good as the orginal recipe, IMHO).
And Here it is....

This was a holiday tradition in our family, too, although my mother was not the one who made it. I see lots of variations, and I admit the ones that toss in M&Ms or such-like look good to this chocoholic.
Ive made the muddy buddy sweet chocolateand powdered sugar ones too.Theyre okay. But i still prefer the original. I will take my m&m s plain please. Lol
I think my mother is with you on the M&Ms. Although she prefers hers to be dark chocolate-covered peanuts.
Omgosh....me too!!!
Obviously great women think alike!
