Party Mix Gluten Free......Wheee

We love simple to make snacks and desserts. I have the greatest fun taking recipe's I find or am given and 'translating' them into gluten free delights. I almost always succeed the first time, but if not, I WILL try again. No one complains about the mistakes I have made. The containers area always emptied, and NO, they have not been dumped in the garbage. I have looked. HA Party Mix is one of our very favorites. Almost all CHEX cereals are gluten free EXCEPT Wheat and Honey Wheat. They are clearly labeled. They have 7 or 8 flavors and we mix them all. We add other gluten free cereals including EnviroKids and granola mixes from Bakery on Main. Deluxe nut mixes are our favorite though spicy nuts can add a little extra "fire"! In addition you can add gluten free pretzels, we love Glutino or after microwaving, stir in crunchy Cheetos then pour onto the towel to cool.
