Caramel Chex Mix {Gluten Free}

Starting some time in October and continuing through the holiday season, I recall my Mom having a batch of Caramel Chex Mix on hand to snack on.  This yummy recipe triggers memories of football tailgates and hanging out snacking at holiday gatherings.  Amazing, how a specific recipe can evoke such feelings and fond memories!

It is such an easy recipe to make (10 minutes and a microwave) and it also freezes well.  Perfect for the busy months ahead.  Mix up a few batches (freeze one for later) and enjoy this tasty snack for the months to come!
