Super EASY Peanut Butter Chex Mix Recipe

You guys should know that my dear ‘ole husband is a BIG Buckeye fan. Just imagine him screaming “Go Bucks!” right now.

He’s got the head-to-toe fan gear, the chants and all that fun stuff down. We have even worked our weekend schedules out, just so he can watch the games on Saturday. I’m sure many of you can relate…right?

As for me? I’m just a girl who could honestly care less about any football game. {gasp! please don’t stone me for that! } But I do love the fact that there is an excuse to pig out on game day food {who doesn’t love that???} Hence how this Buckeye Chex Mix recipe came to life.

Since most of the time my husband watches his beloved Ohio state game all by himself – I wanted to make him a yummy snack to munch on during his “man time.” This recipe has a lot of chocolate, peanut butter and some crunch to it, making it an overall yummy sweet treat. Plus it’s super easy for anyone to pull together for a last minute gathering and of course, it has the red & white theme going on.

So what are you waiting for? Grab the simple ingredients and make it today. My son even got to help in the making. It’s all worth it, even if you don’t like the Buckeyes 😉 Find everything you need to know in the full recipe below!

Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
