Caramel apple chex mix. Perfect way to welcome fall with a snack great for all ages.
Welcome fall. It truly is a beautiful time of year. Hoodies and jeans are pulled out of the dark dungeons of the closets and worn by happy fans.
Apples and pumpkins are in every delicious recipe you dream up. So I dreamed about Chex mix with gooey caramel and a hint of apple.
Behold it came together well and the kids loved and begged for more. It was then I instantly knew it was a hit.
If you need a simple fall snack this is it. Flavorful. Fun. Freaky good.
Enjoy fall, ya’ll!
Love and blessings,
