I believe in being prepared for snow days. At my house, being prepared means having the ingredients for Chex Mix on hand. Right now, I am unprepared, but I hope to remedy that problem this weekend. I am including The Pioneer Woman's recipe for Chex Mix. At the bottom, I've added a couple of my own variations.
May your snow days be toasty warm and may you enjoy every crunch of this wonderful Chex Mix!
Pioneer Woman's Chex Mix
Ingredients
In a microwave-safe bowl, add remaining ingredients and microwave until butter is melted. Stir together and toss into a cereal mixture, stirring as you go.
Transfer mix onto one or two baking sheets, and bake in a 250-degree oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool and store in an airtight container.
Grab a handful every forty minutes. Eat. Spoil your appetite.

Melanie Semore's variations: I use garlic power instead of real garlic. I also toss in about a tablespoon of lemon pepper (the original Chex Mix recipe had lemon juice, and the lemon pepper helps give a little zing).
