Expert Tips

Did you know you can freeze this snack in airtight containers up to 2 weeks? You can also store it tightly covered at room temperature for the same time.

Serve this snack mix in individual brightly colored party cups, tinted cellophane bags or a big, colorful bowl.

Not fond of nuts? Try tossing corn or wheat nuts into the mixture. Or you could use 1 cup of mixed dried fruit instead.

I used Chex Mix instead, plus I went heavy on the walnuts. After they baked together, the nuts gave the snack a wonderful toasted, nutty taste. Everyone goes crazy for this recipe. I also tossed in a bag of M&Ms and raisins to the mixture after it cooled down. This is surely a quick and easy recipe to keep for a lifetime. This is a real hit with children for snacktime too.
