Puppy Chow {Foodie Friday}

I've been on vacation this week, and one of my favorite things to do is make snacks to take with us. This vacation is a 'sit around and read at the beach' type so there is lots of snacking going on.

This recipe makes a lot. I didn't have 1 bowl big enough to make it all in one, so I essentially split the recipe in half and made two 'half recipes' at the same time.   Hope that makes sense. Do they even make 2 gallon ziploc bags? I sure don't have any, so I just used a gallon size and did it twice. I'm confident in your ability to figure it out. 

Enjoy a classic favorite!
