Chex Mix

One of the coolest things about being married is getting the chance to combine two completely different holiday traditions and make new ones to go with them. Rob and I have had the blessing of pretty similar traditions during the holidays because one of the main focuses have always been the same...food. Both our families seem to be cooking none stop this time of year with goodies, treats, desserts...and any other fattening thing you could think of. This recipe is from Rob's side of the family, and was my first time getting to try it out. It is beyond easy, and such a fun Thanksgiving snack that will last all week long! The extra bonus, it's actually pretty healthy!

Chex Mix



1 box rice chex mix
1 box corn chex mix
1 box wheat chex mix
1 can peanuts
1 box wheat thins
1 bag pretzels
olive oil
ranch packet
large paper bag

Instructions are super simple. Put about 1/3 of each kind of chex mix into the paper bag. Then add the peanuts, wheat thins, and pretzels. Softly mix it together. Then add about 4 TBSP of olive oil, close the bag and shake it up. Open the bag and add the ranch packet, close and shake again. That's it! Put it in a big bowl and munch on it all week long! Delicious!!!
