Very Addicting Chex Mix

Submitted by faith58

"My sister made this and I have been making it because my kids ask me for it all the time. It is really good. The cooking time is for the prep time and the baking time. If you would like you can add more pretzels, pecans or m&m's. I use the twisted pretzels also."

I used almonds, added mini mashmallows and sprinkled some cinnamon on it. Everyone loved it. Thank you!

This was ok. Unfortunately, most of it burned during the second 10 minutes of baking. The part that was unburned tasted better with the m&ms added. I don't know if I'll make it again but it was worth trying.

I made this to take on a trip and the family did not care much for it at all. I do make other sweet snack mixes and will stick with them in the future. Thanks anyways.

I made this for a recent family gathering. It was a hit with the kids. (Many enjoyed 'hunting' for and picking out the M&Ms) I added some raisins to the mix, as well as the M&Ms. I think I personally prefer a more savory snack mix though.
