I love a good snack mix, but I hate the prices you pay for it in the store for only several ounces. With that in mind, I have a great recipe for an amazing snack mix that has pecans, oat squares and pretzels that is simply delicious! Buying these ingredients once, you can make several batches and give away as gifts this Holiday Season. I don’t know about you, but I love to make gifts instead of buying them. It shows my loved ones that I care enough to put my time and thought into their presents. Try out this yummy Praline Pecan Crunch recipe and you’ll never buy store mixes again!
