Recipe Introduction
"I showed my culinary ingenuity at a very young age. My parents have vivid memories of some kitchen disasters to prove it. One of the things I adored making was snack mixes. They were easy to make, did not require use of the stove which I was not allowed to use when I was home alone, and always made me a really popular guest at lots of parties...as well as I brought my snack mix. This is one of my favorite variations from that time, Halloweenified. My White Ghost Snack Mix is another similar, but legendary, snack mix from that same era. I use a large extra wide stainless steel bowl to mix all of my snack mixes, but you can also mix this by distributing the mixture evenly between several smaller bowls. "
