As mentioned several times in my blog, Fall is my favorite season and I am a HUGE festive person. When October comes, I want to go to every pumpkin patch, pick every apple, and take my kids to every “trunk-or-treat” I can find. Well, this year looks a little different, and to keep my family safe while continuing to quarantine, I decided to get a little creative and bring the Fall festivities to our home.
Ingredient Suggestions for these Fall Chex Mix Squares
One of the biggest turn-offs I had about making Chex Mix was the Bugles. I am not a fan. However, I totally get how they are essential to making homemade Chex Mix, but they’re not something I would just grab a bag of and eat. Typically, in most Chex Mix recipes there’s Rice Chex Mix, Bugles, and pretzels. I guess you can say that is the base. From there, depending on if you are going sweet or savory, you add whatever you want.
