Nuts About the Red Carpet Chex Mix

February 16, 2014 Kerrie @ Family Food and Travel 107 Comments

Award season is one of my favourite times of years to gather friends and watch the red carpet of our favourite awards shows. The dresses, the tuxedos, the gossip, the drama is so much more fun to watch with friends. This year we will be celebrating and chatting over our own signature Red Carpet Chex Mix.  A wonderful mix of sweet, salty and nutty, this Chex Mix is loaded with protein, crunch and all the flavours you want in a snack food.  I hope you’ll love my Nuts About the Red Carpet Chex Mix.

Nuts About the Red Carpet Chex Mix

My traditions for watching the awards shows have changed over the years.  When I was in University all of my friends and I would gather in our best dresses, high heels and makeup for cocktails and appetizers revelling in the excitement of the event.  Now it is more subdued but just as fun.  I gather with some of my favourite neighbours for an easy going, casual get together which includes more talk about our own lives and less about those hunky Hollywood bachelors but still the same fascination with the gowns, jewels and heels!  I love that my tradition has changed, but my love of red carpet hasn’t.  Even after watching the shows I am excited to pick up the latest copies of celebrity magazines to read about the best and worst dressed.
