Each holiday season, I make a snack mix for Mr. McKinney’s co-workers. I’ve made several mixes in the past – Cowboy Ranch Chex Mix, Parmesan Ranch Snack Mix, Chicken Feed Snack Mix, and Nacho Ranchy Texas Trash. Texas Trash was what we always called this at my house growing up and I feel like my mom/grandmother’s recipe had a lot more pecans and hard crunchy things mixed in.

But, this year I finally arrived in finding my Signature Snack Mix. And, I think Super Bowl 2019 seems like a perfect time to unveil the recipe! But, you don’t have to wait until the big game to have this. Its a perfect mix to throw out for a baby shower or wedding shower, first birthday party (we will have some at Little Man’s Flannel and Flapjack’s soiree later this month), Father’s Day, teacher gifts, or just any time you have a big group together who needs something to munch on.
It’s salty, savory and has a little spice that hits on the back of your tongue in
