Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Check out the wide variety of flavored almonds and peanuts now available at the grocery store. Substitute any one of these for the peanuts in this mix.
  • tip 2
    Corn chips or chili and cheese flavored corn chips can be used in place of the tortilla chips.
