Ingredients

  • 4 cups mini pretzel twists

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Notes

  • You can use any kind of nuts (or any flavor) you like. Honey roasted is amazing, but raw or salted would be great too.
  • Pretzels are fantastic in this but you can omit them - or make it gluten free by using GF Pretzels.
  • Any Chex flavor works but Cinnamon Chex is SO good.
  • Use your favorite flavor M&Ms: caramel or pretzel would be fantastic.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week. I don't recommend freezing this.
