A good time was had by all #ChexPartyMixChange MGT

It’s always fun to get together with my sisters (which in my definition includes my sister-in-law, and at times HER sister, which I call my sister-in-law-in-law). Last night we gathered for a Chex Mix-Change Party. As part of MyGetTogether, I was sent a huge box of Chex cereals and some other goodies for party planning!

I’d invited a lot more people but… we had a lot of cancellations or no shows at the last minute… so it turned out to be a family affair, and a good time was had by all! My son kept asking for “crackers!”

I was excited to try some new Chex Mix recipes – Original is good, but I was looking for a sweet tooth fix. Oh, and since most Chex is gluten free, Chex Mix makes for a great alternative snack! Now, usually around this time of year, I’ve gone to cookie swaps, which are fun, but involve a lot of prep. With a Chex Mix-Change, we eliminated prep time – we made all the Chex Mix at my house and then I packaged them up for everyone to take home!

I initially planned to make three Chex Mix recipes, but they are SO fast and easy to make, we ended up making four. It took us about an hour to make the first three, then we chatted and were looking at recipes on the back of the box and decided to try a fourth!

We made Going Fishing – a salty Chex Mix with goldfish cracker, ranch dressing mix and Parm cheese. Yummy, but not my favorite. Then we tried Snickerdoodle – definitely a favorite! Although I searched high and low for Chocolate Chex, and could not find ANY! So I had to substitute some other chocolate cereal. Bummer.

We also made a very sticky but very yummy Caramel-Chocolate Drizzles Mix, and a Chocolate Coffee Toffee mix that is sort of like Coffee Muddy Buddies. So delicious! Those two were quite messy though!

And… we had a lot of laughs! Watch this video! I was going to edit it, but I kept laughing at all our mess ups and couldn’t stand to cut them out, so this is the un-cut version in all its glory!
