RECIPE: Nutkrack Candied Pecan Chex Mix

Here at Nutkrack HQ, we have no shame.  We love food.  All of it.  In every possible combination.  You might call us crazy, but you will never find anyone here hungry!

Chef Eric likes Chex mix, and Cheez-its, and Bugles, and crackers, and Funyuns, and butter...you get the picture.

Whether you are watching football, or a movie, or the wind blow the leaves around outside, this Mix will be the perfect companion.  You know you loved Funyuns when you were a kid, we all did...and you probably still do. 

Let your Funyun freak flag fly!
