Notes
This recipe is ALWAYS available during the Christmas holidays. The perfect savory snack that's been a family tradition for years. Enjoy!
Just a note-- the original recipe called for container sizes for the cereal, nuts and pretzels--and since so many sizes have changed through the years, I have measured out the cereal by cups and the pretzels and nuts by weight to help make the ratio of seasoning work for this recipe.
