I saw your pic of this stuff on the day and thought, OH MY. Just what my crazy hormone induced snacking needs in her life. But you know what? There’s pecans, and that’s extra protein. I’m gonna call it good. Thanks so much for linking to my creamed corn, and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It is honestly my favorite recipe on my site.
This looks SO good!! It will be a great addition to my standard chex mix and dilly oyster crackers on the party table!
Love this little bit different take on a snack mix. I’ve been doing the old standards of chex mix and oyster crackers for years but I really like the idea of using goldfish in here! Gonna give it a try.
How delicious! I personally still love goldfish, what a great combo.
perfect for tailgating!
Such an awesome snack! I LOVE these flavors!

Now this is a snack mix that I can get behind! I am a sucker for Goldfish, so this is definitely getting Pinned!
