Here’s a snack mix guaranteed to make any Valentine happy!
It’s a chex cereal based snack mix,
paired with chocolate peanut butter cups, M & Ms and bacon!
Super Boy and Big E gave this a double thumbs up!
👍👍
Bake the cereal, pretzels, and nuts first
If you can’t find Peanut Butter Chex,
you can substitute Rice Chex or Corn Chex
Toss the nuts pretzels and cereal with olive oil,
Worcestershire, and seasoned salt
and bake for 40 minutes, stirring half way through
Turn the hot mix out on to paper towels to cool
and mix in the peanut butter cups and M & Ms
Just before serving, add crisp bacon pieces
I used thick cut Maple Bourbon Bacon
You could also use packaged bacon bits,
but the real thing is so much better
You can cook the bacon ahead of time,
and rewarm it right before serving so it will be crispy
