Oh dear… this looks right up our alley around here. I wonder if you could use the dark chocolate chips here and call it REALLY medicinal. Just wondering out loud…
You have my blessing!
I know what I will be making next Sunday to take over to my mom’s to watch the Super Bowl with family. Yum! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Sounds great! I’m all about game day munchies:@)
A treat like this would make even this non-enthusiastic football fan excited about game day 🙂
this goes way beyond the Chex mix we usually make. The bacon and maple syrup sound delicious, Renee. I know this will get rave reviews on game day.
um, bacon? yes, please!
YUM! A winning recipe, just my kind of snack! Looks so good. 😀
OMYLORD…don’chaknow I will be making this, FOR SURE…My bunch will LOVE IT….We have an annual SB party at son’s house every year and everyone tries to outdo the others on good things to eat. I’ll take this…and a big crock pot full of homemade chili….. Thanks sooo much.
This sounds delicious! I love the combination of sweet and salty!
BACON????? For reals?

There is nothing better than salty and sweet together.
Those are some cute grands! It isn’t possible that you are a grandmother. You are far too young!
This sounds like a really interesting combination that would add up to serious yummy!

Nothing beats good food, games and family! Interesting recipe. I’ll have to try it.
I can definitely see how this could be quite addictive. I would have to give a bunch away as I wouldn’t trust myself with this delicious treat in the house. But I’m sure later I would be mad at myself for giving it away!! 🙂
I just love these kind of snack mixes, and yours looks so, so tasty! Thanks so much for linking up to my Super Bowl Eats and Treats Party! Have a great Superbowl Sunday!
I love to make snack mixes like this. The sweet/salty/spicy/smoky crunchiness of this is awesome!
