Why a Snack Mix is Perfect for the Super Bowl

I love a good snack mix for a big gathering because it’s so crowd friendly. You can put the bowl in the middle of the crowd and let everyone dig in. I also love to set a stack up cups next to it so people can munch on the mixture from their own serving.

With a snack mix, there’s bound to be something in the mix that everyone will love. The blend of textures and flavors is just so satisfying.

Storage Tips

This snack mix is best stored at room temperature in an airtight container. It will keep for up to a week. It will not freeze well.
