This fudgy snack mix is perfect for chocolate lovers and packages wonderfully for holiday gifts.
I can't make a snack mix without including Bugles... I love them. They add a fun shape and a nice hit of salt to any mix, savory or sweet! I also used rice Chex, another snack mix staple, and for fun I threw in some Honey Nut Chex to complete the combination. Yum! The great thing about snack mixes is you can use any combination of fun cereals and crunchy snacks that you want to create different flavors.
This addictive snack gets a double dose of chocolate by being coated in melted chocolate and then tossed in dry brownie mix. The dry mix not only adds flavor, but also keeps your hands from getting too sticky.
I used Christmassy sprinkles since I was giving this away as holiday gifts, but you can either leave them out or use different colors to theme the mix however you like. This is a great mix to make in advance, as it'll stay nice and fresh as long as it is stored in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
