chex mix

chex mix is like crack.

seriously.

at least, it is in our house. and i don't mean the kind from a bag. i mean the good, hommade kind that is terrible for you and really spicy (thanks to extra tobasco thrown it!)

so i always make some for hubby this time of year (oh, i like it too) but i usually go to sams and buy the holiday three pack, with a pack each of corn, rice and wheat chex. and then i always start out following the recipie (at least, the amounts of chex and pretzels and peanuts to add) but then you wind up caught in the chex conspiracy.

i am not kidding. okay, first, like i said, the stuff is addictive. but then, once you have the boxes, you are hooked in. and not because you have no self control. the three bags are packed by weight. ok. but they give you more wheat chex than corn OR rice. really. so when you make two batches of chex mix up following the recipie on the box, you are out of rice and corn chex. but you still have almost half a bag of the wheat chex.

sooo....who eats plain wheat chex? nobody. in fact, if we are truly honest with ourselves, you know that if given a bowl of chex, you eat everything but the wheat if no one is looking.

back to the store. buy the other two kinds. buy more pretzels. then, you have extra of other ingredients.....and the cylcle begins again.

and if it weren't soooo delicious.....
