Christmas Chex Mix in a Jar is the perfect last minute mason jar gift idea to give to family and friends over the holiday. I mean, everything tastes better in a mason jar, right?
Let me show you how to put this easy treat and gift idea together.
Chex Mix was something we never had growing up in my family. I don't think I knew exactly what it was until I started dating my husband.
There was always a bowl of this snack mix at all of his family gatherings. AND it was always homemade. That's right, my mother-in-law made her own version of this family favorite snack mix. I didn't even know it came in a bag until many years later.
