Reindeer Munch

When visiting my parents over Thanksgiving this year my mom made her traditional and childhood favorite party snack mix. I love that stuff and between five of us we ate through 2 full batches in 3 days!

I played around with the idea of making some of my own and then found this great sweet version verse her savory kind. This isn't dairy free so be careful! However a tiny taste of this is totally worth it and makes a great party food!
