50 ounces of Chez Mix costs about $5 when homemade or about $10 when bought at Wal-Mart.
And, homemade has no preservatives or other ingredients you can't pronounce.
We also like to tell ourselves it's healthier than other snacks. (Leave us with our delusion.)
I tweak what I put into it every time I make it, depending on what I have in my cupboards that I manage to get good sale prices on.
Today I used a box of rice chex ($1.50), a box of cheerios (50 cents), a bag of pretzels (99cents), and a box of cheese crackers ($1.44). Add some butter, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder, cook slowly in the oven and enjoy.
Get creative with what you use. Your imagination is your only limit. Bagel chips? Goldfish crackers? Nuts? Dry roasted edamame or garbanzo beans? Small size wheat crackers?
I'm already planning the next batch. :)
