My thoughts
I was surprised at how many yummy recipes you can make with Chex mix. My MIL and I made the Chex® Lemon Buddies for Thanksgiving and it was so good and a huge hit with our family. I definitively recommend you add chex mix to your Christmas/new years menu this year.
Here is the Lemon buddy's recipe in case you would like to try it
