  1. First of all I started snacking on this during the stirring breaks while it was still in the oven. Then when I poured it out onto the waxed paper I started nibbling freely and couldn't stop. Then I took a bite to my DD who immediately grabbed a bowl, filled it, ran to her room and closed the door. I made this for the guys to eat tomorrow during a big game, but I think I'll have to make another batch tonight so they'll have something to eat! This is a taste explosion. It's salty, sweet, and a little spicy all rolled into one. I used an extra cup of tortilla chips and Crispix as debra suggested in her review, and held back a little on the nuts. I think next time I'll either use almonds only or even give pretzels a try instead of the mixed nuts, as we're not huge nut fans in general. Thanks for a super recipe. I'd give it way more than 5 stars if I could! I'm making this every week for the rest of my life! :-)
     
  2. I have made this recipe over a dozen times since I first saw it. My family and friends are crazy over this snack. I have been using the smaller, 2 inch tortilla round chips and do not break them. I also add 1 more cup Crispix and chips. There's plenty of liquid to coat evenly. Again, this is positively terrific.
     
  3. Where has this been all my life?! That's what I said when I tasted this wonderful snack mix. I thought the liquid was just enough for the amount of dry ingredients called for, so i would not add more cereal or chips, but I have an enormous sweet tooth. However, I will probably use half a can of nuts next time. And there will be lots of next times. Thanks Peachez for this terrific recipe!
