Mom's White Chocolate Party Mix

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I know we did; weather for traveling was perfect, Henry was well behaved, the 4 dozen cinnamon rolls I pre-made were delicious, everyone loved their gifts, enjoyed time will the family, and snapped a ton of pics. I'm also thankful I took a 1/2 day today meaning I slept in and get to work on blog posts before work.

My mom and dad did a ton of baking for Christmas. They make the same 7 to 10 things every year. I hate for those recipes to go unshared so I'll be posting them this week!

First up is my Mom's White Chocolate Party Mix. This is not just for the Holidays. I've made this as a birthday treat at work, get together at my house, and for gifts. I love that it makes a huge batch and it's really easy to swap out ingredients if needed. My mom put pretzel nuggets in this year and it was yummy! I'm thinking those peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets would be another nice switch up. Maybe use chocolate cherrios and peanut M&M's? The possibilities are endless. 

Mom's White Chocolate Party Mix

1, 10 oz mini pretzels
