Parmesan Garlic Snack Mix |
Here’s a cereal snack mix bursting with the flavors of Parmesan cheese and garlic. Perfect for Super Bowl snacking.
This is a departure from the usual chex mixes!
It can be as garlicky as you care to make it. I’m in love with the stuff so I add a full tablespoon. Add less if you don’t mind fighting off a few vampires 🙂 If you don’t care for garlic at all, use some onion powder instead. Add a combo of both if you like both!
Addictive! |
I prefer Romano to Parmesan which is why I tend to use that more. Either cheese–or a combo–works well here.
It’s addictive, so be prepared to make another batch!
