"This is the snack mix recipe that I have used for many years for holidays and other occasions where we have family over. It tastes amazing and is way better than the store bought alternatives, in my opinion. Give it a try and let me know what you think. :)"

Wisk them all together really well. Pour some of the sauce all over the mix and toss them with your hands until well coated. Keep repeating until all the sauce is mixed with the dry ingredients.

Wow, this took a lot of time, but it is worth it, for sure. Much better than store bought, yup! I didn't have the full amount of bugles and only had roasted almonds, which was a bit pricier than I wanted to go with taking it to the scouts tonight, but eh, ya only live once, I guess. Used a little less butter to make up for the lesser ingredients. Thanks so much!

A great tasting snack that is loved by the whole family. I cut the recipe in 1/2 and it still made LOTS. I did omit the Bugles. For a bit of heat factor...a t or two of tabisco wouldn't hurt:-) Made for TYM tag~
