#81 – Tuxedo Chex Mix

Are you looking for something rich and decadent for the holiday season? If chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate wasn’t enough, how about the addition of marshmallows and Skor toffee pieces. The true chocoholics may try eat the entire bowl of this Tuxedo Chex Mix. This recipes makes A LOT. It’s great for a party or to give as a hostess gift around Christmas. Or any time you would like to share a sweet treat.

This recipe is also very easy to make. My 8 year old daughter helped me in the kitchen and she ended up doing most of the work. This is a fantastic no-bake dessert recipe. The only baking required was done with the microwave. However I was the one who poured the yummy (but hot) brown sugar caramel mixture over the cereal. Be very careful, that stuff is HOT.
