Super Simple Homemade Chex Mix Recipe
Like it or not, back-to-school time is just around the corner! My kiddos start in 11 days and I’ve already been searching for fun snack and lunch ideas. I definitely want to make one of my kids’ favorite snacks for the first day of school, and they are both huge fans of this super simple homemade Chex Mix recipe.
The first day of fourth grade is pretty special, so we’re jazzing things up with cute butterfly snack bags! I couldn’t have made these without Ziploc® brand Snack bags with Easy Open Tabs . As usual, Ziploc® brand products are helping with all of my back-to-school preparation, including snack time.
These butterfly snack bags could not have been easier to create! Madelyn got in on the fun and decorated the clothespins. All we used for the project was clothespins, googly eyes, glue, pipe cleaners, paint, Ziploc® brand Snack bags with Easy Open Tabs and snacks.
The homemade Chex Mix recipe is pretty close to the original from 1952, with just a few revisions to make it like my grandpa always did. There are so many Chex Mix recipe variations, but I just really love this super simple one the best. It’s really flavorful without too many distractions! ☺
