Holiday Crack...

A little post on one of my favorite snacks for the Holidays. It's a quick, easy and inexpensive Holiday treat that's so yummy. Every year at our bowling Christmas party everyone brings a snack to share. This recipe was from a gal I bowl with. Everybody loves those snacks, right? This one is excellent. The problem is once you start eating it, you can't quit. If you want to see a snack disappear in about 3 minutes, try this one. It's so good, so chewy and crunchy and definitely addicting..."CANDY CRACK"! You might want to double this recipe...easy, peasy!!!

You'll need one box of Corn Chex, corn syrup, brown sugar, butter and a large grocery bag. That's it!
I have made this for every Christmas for many years. You can make it even better by drizzling melted white and chocolate candy coat on top. It takes this recipe to the next level!

Such an easy Holiday treat! I'm pretty sure it will be your go to snack for the Holidays. I love this recipe because it doesn't only make the snack crunchy, it also makes it chewy...I love that chew!

One Final Thought...
