Praline Crunch Snack Mix
This snack mix is coated in a simple brown sugar and butter sauce that adds the perfect touch of sweetness. We love to serve this at parties - the bowl disappears quickly and everyone asks for the recipe.

Notes
- This recipe lasts for at least a week in an airtight container and may be fine longer - we always eat it too fast to test.
