Continuing this month’s theme of Holiday the make of the week is Chex Mix.
I’ve made it before. Twice, I think, last December, plus once in late winter.
This is one of the most requested recipes from the department.
The familiarity of Chex Mix is like wrapping yourself in a warm cardigan, sipping on some tea. It is a big part of my Christmas baking, and a big mover in celebrations, or sitting at home in the afternoon and evenings, in the light of the Christmas tree, reading a book.
It is also non-denominational. And non-partisan.
I find it comforting and therefore I make it every year, only around the holidays. When the evening darkness comes early and the outside temperature is dropping.
And there might be the precipitation of your choice outside.
I prefer rain.
Because people around here can’t deal with the white stuff.
We’ve already had a run on hips from people falling on slick leaves.
No need to add ice and such into the mix.
