Easy Gift Giving Ideas with Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios™ Chex™ Muddy Buddy™ Party Mix

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Chex™. The opinions and text are all mine.

Gift giving season is in full force. We like to give something to everyone who has touched our lives in the past year, including teachers, neighbors, and even our mail delivery people (thank you for letting me stay in my PJs while I shop)! And although these people have touched our lives, they may not be the easiest person to gift to because you may not know them that well. And that's where Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios™ Chex™ Muddy Buddies Party Mix comes in. Not only is it a great party mix, but it also makes a great and easy delicious gift as well.


There are also non-peanut butter recipes you can make too if you are concerned with allergies. This recipe is also great to bring to get togethers too. And it's easy because you basically just throw everything in a bowl and mix!

I have been having so much fun getting my kids more involved in the kitchen. They enjoy it more than playing with toys! And it just as fun as making a craft. They are learning through play or in this case, cooking! This recipe was super fun to make together too because it had so much sensory fun. Having a real life skill like knowing how to cook is key in this day and age as it seems many children are growing up without this knowledge.
