So, usually when it comes to Chex Mix, I go with the traditional recipe from the back of the box – the old stand by.  And I do still love it.  But since I think like a food blogger and not a normal person, I decided to see what else was out there in the way of riffs on Chex Mix.  I must be feeling rebellious today.  This version is spiced up with cayenne pepper and curry powder and it’s definitely an edgier, more daring flavor combo, but what can I say … I’m an edgy kinda gal.

Not really.  I’m not edgy at all.  I’ll add “get edgy” to the lengthy list of self improvements I should make in the new year.

If you’re already feeling edgy and you’re into rocking the traditional Chex Mix boat, whip up a batch of this yummy stuff in time for entertaining folks this weekend. 

Merry, merry!
