You: Chex Mix!
Me: Christmas!
You: Chex Mix!
Me: When I say Cereal, you say Expensive! Cereal!
You: Expensive!
Me: Cereal!
You: Expensive!
HAHAHAHAHA... See what I did there? I wasn't a cheerleader for a reason, folks. Cereal IS expensive but when it comes to Chex Mix, WHO GIVES A RIP. CHEX MIX RULES!!!
Chex Mix at Christmas is a Smith family tradition... almost as big a tradition as eating in general! Every year since I was a little girl, the Popskies & I would make ginormous troughs of the stuff. We'd clean out coffee cans, cover them with wrapping paper, fill them up with the the delicious, garlicky crack mix and give them out as gifts.
If honey is the nectar of the gods, then chex mix is the nectar of the dads! This stuff is POTENT. If you're into chex mix from a bag at the grocery store, forget it. Walk away now. You can't handle the truth, blah, blah, blah. If you like a little worcestershire sauce with your butter then by all means, keep reading.
This one's for you, Miss Stephanie! Oh! And we don't make normal people sizes. We make this much:
DAD'S CHEX MIX (probably off the back of a cereal box if we're really bein' honest here)
6 cups of cheerios
6 cups of wheat chex
6 cups of rice chex
9 cups of kix
6 cups of pretzels
3 cups of mixed nuts
5 sticks of butter
7 tablespoons of worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons of garlic powder.
2 tablespoons of onion powder
2 tablespoons of all season salt
Mix cereal, pretzels & nuts. Combine other sturf in a sauce pan and use a whisk to mix thoroughly. Once heated & mixed, pour by the cupful over the cereal and mix throughout. Bake in oven at 250 for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Lay out on paper towels to cool (about 2 hours). Can & distribute. :)
Merry Christmas, everyone!!!
Much love,
Mandi

Nice! I've found that buying the chex in bulk at Costco works better for cost controls.

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
DOF, Costco is a great suggestion! And thanks anonymous! I will do my best to keep it up! :)
I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our society, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of uploading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about every once in a while.
