Chocking warning for you on this one. I seriously can inhale this stuff like it’s nobody’s business. When I eat junk food I totally go for the munchies mix. I assume everyone else will agree that the pretzels are stupid, and just ruin the mix. The pretzels are filler and we all know it. Yet, I still kind of like them. So in our version, our pretzels are goldfish so it’s not as much of a filler in this situation as just a different texture. This is kind of complex snack mix in that we have a lot of ingredients, but I think sometimes you just have to go for it knowing the results are worth it. I recommend justifying it by just making more and more snack mix and then eating it. This is seriously our best ever snack mix, and it’s just as wonderful as you can imagine. Just be careful, as I have learned it’s called “snack” mix for a reason, and you should still attempt to eat real food.
