Grandma Bray’s Cereal Snack

Happy Family Friday! My grandma has two different snack mixes that she pretty much always has on hand. This snack mix, called cereal snack, is the OG snack mix. She has been making this mix since before I was born and it is THE favorite snack mix among all the dads (my dad and my two uncles). Most of the kids prefer the garbage bag snack mix (to be featured next week!), but we all also love this mix. It is the perfect snack for game day, binge watching television, an evening card game or any other family activity.
