Stewart Family Munchie Stuff
Posted in Food, Holiday, Parties on 12/08/2011 01:10 pm by ChrissyEvery Christmas as a child I would be so excited to go to Aunt Stephanie’s house and eat her Munchie Stuff. I have no idea how it got that name, but it is fitting. We only make this stuff during Christmas, but it would be a crowd pleaser at any party. This caramel chex mix is so easy to make although it can get a little messy. I hope you and your family make lots of memories making this sugary treat and eating it as I did with my family. Enjoy.
