It’s December 29th! How did that happen?! Every week just came and went with parties, events and of course some good old fashioned sickness to round out our December. Regardless, we have a holiday filled with lots of joy, rest and good food to boot.
One of my Mom’s go-to for parties and gatherings is a big tub of chex mix. She made it this Christmas in fact! It’s the savory kind with worcestershire sauce. It’s so damn good and better than any bagged mix on the market. She also makes a sweet, sticky, coconut kind that is delicious but not as easy to make. Because both of these varieties have butter, I wanted to try a version without. Naturally, I tackled a sweet version first.
