Cheezy Snack Mix

You don't need to wait for the next big holiday to make a batch of this.

You don't need the GB Packers playing in the Super Bowl to make a batch of this. Sorry. Bad example.

This is an anytime treat.

I start with Corn Chex.

Add pretzels,

dry roasted peanuts,

and some cashews for good measure.

Oil and seasonings,

including the all-important ingredient, popcorn seasoning.

Mix it all together. It'll be thick, but that's ok.

Stir into the mix,

and spread it on a pan.

In a mere 30minutes, you'll have a tasty treat that's hard to beat.

Trust me on this.

Is it ever good.

Happy Saturday
