I also started a tradition from the time I was married to make a sweet Chex mix (aka cereal candy ). I make it several times during the holiday season for my family and it is another beloved recipe that everyone asks for. I even have a variation on it that include almonds and coconut !

Whoops I fixed it. It’s 1/8. 🙂
