Desserts Made Simple: Christmas Trash Snack Mix

Every year, I make a small holiday treat for our neighbors. Last year, I made them each a small loaf of poppyseed cake. This year, I decided to whip up a few batches of Christmas Trash Snack Mix. The snack mix was easy to mix up and would make a great family activity. There are several recipes to make Christmas Trash, I opted to use the recipe that used Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. I think these snack mixes are going to be a hit with our neighbors this year!
