Sugar Cookie Chex Party Mix Recipe
Last week, I shared our Muddy Buddies recipe, and this time around, I’m making Sugar Cookie Chex Party Mix.
Do you love getting creative in the kitchen during the holidays? We sure do! The kitchen gets super busy this season—from Thanksgiving dinner to a big holiday feast to baking items for bake sales, gifts, and when the company comes to visit. I love trying new recipes, perfecting old ones, and sharing them with everyone willing to be a taste tester. It’s not hard to find folks to sample your creations!
A little while ago, I shared one of my favorite holiday traditions — making Chex Party Mix with my family — and today, I wanted to share another tasty recipe that you can make with your family this year! I used to do this as a child, and it always seemed like something everyone did. My friends and neighbors would make it, my family would make it, and for whatever reason (probably because it’s so yummy!) it was just a given holiday tradition.
These days, I see friends passing down their favorite Chex Mix recipes to their kids and grandkids. It is so lovely to see traditions being passed down from one generation to the next — especially delicious traditions like this one!
