Neither my or Andy’s teams are playing in the Superbowl this year (Packers & 49ers,) but I still have a football-loving husband who never likes to miss a game. (He will have to this year if I’m in labor of course!) I’m hoping though, that we’ll be watching with a babe in our arms which would be just perfect. (And you can bet I’m decking him out in his little Packers pjs even though they’re not in the game!)This sweet & salty snack mix is a huge crowd pleaser and the perfect thing to bring to a Superbowl Party or any get together with people who enjoy this mix of flavors as much as we do. The basic idea starts like caramel corn, but pretzels, cereal, nuts and M&Ms are also tossed in- creating delicious clusters of salted caramely goodness. It makes a good sized portion, is easy to throw together, and lasts for at least a week- making it a perfect “ahead-of-time” treat to bring to your Sunday get together.
PS- It is SO weird writing these blog posts in advance not knowing if I’ll have a baby by the time you are reading it. I made this a couple weeks ago but wish I had it now as my sweet & salty cravings have been out of control!!

I’ve seen similar snack mixes also on other foodblogs, and, even if I’ve always been intrigued, I haven’t tried them, yet. But these pictures totally made my mouth water a little, thanks to all that salted caramel-y thing and bright M&M’s! Yes…it’s time to whip up a large bowl of this yumminess!
xo, Elisa

This looks so delicious! This remind me of the trail mix that my grandmother always has at her house, but this is way better because there is salted caramel and chocolate, of course. :)

Oh my goodness, this is the best snack mix ever!!! I made it once at the beginning of fall for an office party and everyone loved it! And now I’ve made three batches and gave some in tins for Christmas. Same reaction!! Yum!
