Better Than Bleep: Christmas Candy Snack Mix
In October I discovered this amazing snack mix recipe that left me addicted to Reese’s Pieces. I did my best to wean myself off of it, but I resurrected the recipe this month and gave it a Christmas twist. Now I am addicted again! But this time to classic M&Ms. Here is the ultimate addictive party mix your friends will simply adore and you won’t be able to get enough of this holiday season. Try adding nearly any Christmas candy you want to give it your own twist!

3. Allow the pretzels to cool completely before breaking them apart and adding them to a small bowl and tossing them wit the M&M’s. Serve.
