Chex Mix Review & Giveaway

Chex Mix has always been a favorite of mine. I remember when I was young going over to my friends house and eating loads of her fathers homemade Chex Mix. So when I got the chance to do this review and giveaway I was thrilled. I was finally going to get around to making my own Chex Mix.

I went grocery shopping and picked up the ingredients and before I even put away all my groceries I was making the Original Chex Party Mix. I was really excited to try it. It took about 10 mins to make it and I was chowing away. I couldn't stop, it was so good. I wish I had been making this stuff sooner.
Well, by the end of the night me, my husband and my son had finished it all. So of course I had to make more the next day. My husband decided to add some hot sauce to his (he puts that stuff on everything). He liked it, but it got soggy after awhile. I think I will have to make him the Hot and Spicy Chex Mix one of these days.

I am hosting a huge family holiday party soon and you know Chex Mix will be on the menu. I recommend you add Chex Mix to your holiday menu too.
