Addicting holiday snack!

The Johnson Family Christmas Recipe

(Sweet Snack Mix)

By Aleyna Kaya

I looked at a lot of websites to find a Christmas dessert recipe for Knight Life Newspaper. I wanted a simple and delicious recipe. Then I decided to look my host family’s recipe book and I picked this Sweet Snack Mix. It is an absolutely easy and delicious holiday recipe. You can make it and share with your friends at Christmas time!

Ingredients:

3 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 (12 oz.) pkgs Nestle Vanilla Chips

10 oz. mini-pretzels

5 cups Cheerios

5 cups Corn Chex

2 cups salted peanuts

1 lb. M&M’s

Combine oil and vanilla chips. Melt over medium heat.

Mix all other ingredients.

Cover with melted mixture and stir.

Spread on a baking sheet to dry.

Break apart before serving.

The process is done! Just get a hot chocolate and enjoy!

I made this recipe and shared with the Knight Life Newspaper staff and they shared with me their thoughts:

“The mix is completely addictive, and completely delicious! I especially enjoyed the chocolate-covered peanuts!” Mrs. Cimney said, advisor.

“It was a very nice and sweet dessert . I would definitely use this recipe at a Christmas party , it looked really fun and easy to make,“ Debora Ceta said, staff reporter.

“I definitely would recommend this recipe for the holidays. It’s very yummy, especially with the mix of the sweet white chocolate and salty pretzels,” said Charleigh Sprawls, editor.

“I like the blend of salty pretzels and chocolate,” said Leyli Rejepova, staff reporter.

“Despite having a slight allergic reaction to the peanuts, I really enjoyed the dessert. I especially liked the white chocolate!” said Justice Brown-Harkless, staff reporter.

Lastly, I want to thank my host parents (Keni & Dave Johnson) for sharing this recipe with us!

Merry Christmas!
