Best Moms Amped Up Snack Mix Recipes
MOM'S AMPED-UP SNACK MIX
Nothing fancy but impossibly addictive, this old-fashioned snack is included here for sentimental reasons. My mom made this for my dad's weekly poker games. She used Corn, Wheat, and Rice Chex, peanuts, and pretzels. My job was to carry the bowls into the game. I now make my own variation with wasabi peas, mixed nuts, packaged ramen, melted butter, and other goodies (though you can substitute fun ingredients until you find your own magic mix). When I bring it out during a football game, or a family gathering, or before a party, my husband literally whimpers, "Please, please, don't do this to me." It's the happiest protest you've ever heard. One secret I insist on: Always use the honey-sweetened corn cereal for that little extra sweet 'n' salty combination. And one other secret: Double the recipe and watch the smiles when they ask for more.

GOOP (AMPED UP PARTY MIX!)
Every year at Christmas, my grandma would stuff our stockings with bags of Goop- her own version of Party Mix. To this day, the smell of Goop baking brings all of the cousins running in and sampling the batch! If you like regular Party Mix, then you'll LOVE this flavorful Goop!
