Holiday Snack: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios & Chex Party Mix

Christmas is just around the corner! I have had so much fun making new recipes with my kids this year. We have made so many recipes that I have needed to send gifts to my neighbors. One of the staples of the holidays has always been Chex™ Muddy Buddies™ Party Mix. It's crunchy, has a delicious peanut butter and chocolate flavor, and is covered in powdered sugar. It's always the first snack we run out of at holiday parties.

But this year there is a new recipe that has more chocolate and peanut butter and more crunch. You are going to have your friends begging for this recipe! The new recipe adds Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios™, peanuts, and peanut butter cups. It's everything I love!

  7. One year I made Chex Mix that I 'ruined' by microwaving the chocolate chips a little too much. The chocolate set in big chunks rather than coat the mix. It was a big hit, lol. Everyone liked it. See, you can't go wrong with Chex Mix!
