Churro Chex Mix
If you asked me to name the one party snack I absolutely can’t resist, I’d have to go with Chex Mix. Man, that stuff is good! I can eat my way through a whole bowl of it if I’m not careful.
One of the best things about Chex Mix is that there are so many different ways to make it. The zesty, Worcestershire-spiked original flavor is fantastic, of course. But you can have tons of fun mixing it up with different versions for different occasions, like Fiesta Ranch Chex Mix for Cinco de Mayo, Pumpkin Harvest Chex Mix in the fall, and Holiday Muddy Buddies Chex Mix for the holidays.
For my latest twist on this classic snack, I’ve created a Chex Mix that has the spicy-sweet flavor of everyone’s favorite Mexican dessert, churros. And it’s really easy to make: just toss your Chex and peanuts with a mix of melted butter and brown sugar, bake them, and dust the mixture with cinnamon sugar. This Churro Chex Mix is the perfect sugar-and-spice snack.

I love Churros and this looks wonderful, but what could be substituted for the peanuts for those of us who cannot eat nuts ?
You can just leave the nuts out, or perhaps add in another salty snack like pretzels?
