Author Notes

We all love Chex Mix. For us foodies, that creates a problem. It's just too common, too easy and over-promoted during Superbowl. So I came up with a version that will please the gourmet as well as the casual snacker. —janet voris

Fried peas? The pic looks like you are using wasabi peas.

You can use Wasabi Peas if you like. I'm not a fan, so I just use Fried Peas. Both are available in most bulk or natural snack sections in most grocery stores.
