Chesapeake Bay Snack Mix


Chesapeake Bay Snack Mix

Makes 14 cups of snack mix.

This is a tasty and addicting snack that's sure to be a hit at your next party. It has a similar taste to Chex Mix, but is still definitely in a category of it's own. The original recipe calls for Old Bay Seasoning, which I couldn't find at my local grocery store (I will add that this grocery store is smaller than most). If you have Old Bay Seasoning, leave out my list of spices, which I found as a substitute seasoning. Instead, use 3 T. of Old Bay.
