This is a wonderful snack recipe! I took a doubled recipe to an outdoor/bring-a-treat-to-share party and it was gone in minutes! I have since had many phone calls and emails requesting the recipe. It will be a staple at my house from now on!

I mean't to rate this weeks ago (sorry for the late review) I needed to bring a dish for a tailgate party we were having at work and it was a last minute thing. I didn't want to bring all the usual (chips & dips) This one was suggested to me and I jumped on it. (love the name) This was an absolute hit. Everyone really enjoyed this. Luckily I saved a little for home. It was gone in no time and the recipe was requested by many. Thanks Sue, you made me look good!

This was a hit at our party! Spicy but good! Loved the Frito's and Peanuts toasted with this coating Thanks Sue L ; )

This was great! I used about 1/3 cup of the Crystal hot sauce and use mini pretzels instead of goldfish pretzels. The Ritz Bits were an awesome addition--something I'm not used to seeing in a mix. All the seeds made me feel like I was atleast eating something healthy amidst all the heavier parts of this recipe. Thanks for posting!

This is SO much better than the standard, basic Chex Mix! I do substitute some square pretzels for the corn nuts (they're too tough on a family member's teeth) and use Goldfish Crackers, since I can't find Goldfish Pretzels. But the best part are the mini Ritz Bits, drenched in butter and Frank's Hot Sauce. Great recipe, Sue L. Definitely a keeper.
