My Addiction

This stuff, oh my word, this stuff is my holiday crack!! I absamolutely love it and could eat it every day from Thanksgiving to Christmas and not think twice about it. But if I did that I would probably weigh close to 500 pounds and I certainly do not need that. But you get the point that I could eat this all day every day.

This has to be the easiest thing in the world to make because it is very forgivable. Add more of one thing, less of another, add in a few extras; it does not matter party mix will love you anyway. I always manage to overfill my pans (yes, all 3 of them) and the dog really appreciates that because he manages to eat whatever falls as soon as it hits the ground. Do not be fooled by the hot sauce, it does not give the mix any heat it just adds the right hint of flavor. This is yet another treat that people will be receiving with their goodie trays in a few days.
