Delta Zeta Party Snacks

Submitted by Nancy G.

"I made this snack mix for a Parent's Weekend get-together for my daughter's sorority and it was a hit. It's easy to make and you can substitute any of the snacks. I lined my pan with parchment paper and was glad I did! I put individual servings in fall goodie bags so that it was easy for guests to take their own bag. The recipe comes from a junior league cookbook."

This was very good. I had to put the mixture in the fridge as it cooled because it wasn't hardening .
