Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
The beauty of Grandma's snack mix was that she could easily change the ingredients to create delicious variations. She used tiny pretzel twists, little cheese crackers or mini cereal squares to replace the shoestring potatoes or nuts. And if Grandma was in the mood for Italian flavors, she substituted dried basil and dried oregano for the dill and lemon-pepper seasoning.
