Seven. That’s the number of summers I have left with my son. That includes this summer, as well as the summer before he goes off to college. 

 

My son, Harrison is 11 and doesn’t ask me to play or hang out with him as much as he used to. That is the nature of him getting older, growing up and becoming more interested in being with his friends. So, whenever he does ask me to play – to go with him to the basketball court in our neighborhood, ride bikes or swim at our community pool, I try to always say yes. 

 

Taking a yummy snack is a great way to make these summer memories even sweeter. This Loaded Peanut Butter Chex Party Mix is our new favorite summer snack, and great for enjoying during all of our summer fun.

Here’s what you need to make this Chex Mix Recipe:

Step 1: Stop at your local Walmart and pick up the NEW Peanut Butter Chex

The main ingredient in this delicious sweet chex mix recipe is new Peanut Butter Chex Cereal. It might be our new favorite Chex Party Mix, as it includes one of our favorites – Chex Mix Muddy Buddies!

Summers are limited with our kids. No matter how much work you have to do, no matter how long your chore list is, if your son or daughter asks you to play, say YES! There will always be work, there will always be a list of things to do, but time with our kids (especially when they are young) is limited. Let’s enjoy it!

Here’s the recipe for this delicious Loaded Peanut Butter Chex Party Mix:

    This looks so yummy. Chocolate and peanut butter is a killer combo for me and I bet using the darker chocolate makes it so rich. Thanks for sharing Erin!
