I used to love it when Mom made Chex Party Mix at Christmastime when I was growing up.
It was such a special treat.
With just a little more than two weeks to go until Christmas, I find myself indulging in a few more snacks and sweet treats than usual, which is fun.
It's part of what the holidays are all about for me.
So, when I ran across a recipe for Slow Cooker Chex Party Mix in Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook: 1400 Best Slow Cooker Recipes (affiliate link), I got excited and added Chex cereal and pretzels to my grocery list.
To keep things safe, I decided to make a half batch of this slow cooked Chex party mix, since I didn't have a party planned and had a feeling that we would consume as much as I made.
WW Friendly Slow Cooker Chex Party Mix
Rod and I ate A LOT of warm-from-the-crockpot Chex party mix Friday night.
Then I managed to snap a quick photo before Brenda and Neal helped us finish it off Saturday evening with co*cktails after a long day of house hunting.
I plan on making another batch of this yummy Slow Cooker Chex Party Mix to enjoy during the holidays. I love that you don't have to turn on the oven, or hover over it so it doesn't burn.
The ingredients for this Slow Cooker Chex Party Mix are flexible. Think of this more as a template, than an actual recipe, and mix and match ingredients and seasonings to your heart's content.
