Stars & Stripes Homemade Chex Party Mix

Have you ever had it where you’ve done something ONE TIME, but your kids never forgot about it?

I had that happen recently when my daughter texted me to ask about a recipe we made one year for the 4th of July.

Not only did I have to remember what she was talking about, I really had to hunt around to remember where I got it. So, I’m sharing it hear, not only to bless you, but so I know where to find it next time!
