[recipe] old fashioned chex mix
This Chex Mix recipe is called "the real original" because it is supposedly from the recipe taken directly off the back of a 1950s Chex cereal box. It sounds pretty much like what my grandma always made, and what i'll be making tonight!! yea festive! (i'll be using mixed nuts, though.)
