Things are heating up in college basketball. Games are plentiful & people are excited! Two teams just over the border here are considered as close to our home teams as possible & they are both in the running still. Really exciting to watch them go so far & we are watching basketball all the time. You know what that means – snacks!! So of course I made some of my favorite Slow Cooker Snack Mix to much on along with all our other goodies. I love to put on a nice big spread for game time & making snack mix in the slow cooker is the easiest thing to do. I mixed it up this time & made it extra cheesy!!!
I was already in Target picking up a regular box of Cheez-It white cheddar when I saw the new Cheez-It Grooves. That’s when I had my idea to change up my usual snack mix & make it all about Cheez-Its.
Then…..I found the Cheez-It Crunch’d in another aisle & I knew this was going to be one epic mix.
I was totally stoked for game time & couldn’t wait to make it.
It’s really just as simple as tossing all the yummy ingredients in the cooker.
Then drizzle the flavored sauce over everything & give it a good stir.
Let it cook for a couple hours while you prep your other snacks & you are good to go.
I’m telling you – this is packed full of all your favorite cheesy Cheez-It flavor & you will never want to make any other mix.
It’s SO GOOD – it didn’t last through the game.
Cheez-Its are on sale for 3/$8 at Target.
Shoppers can use Target’s Cartwheel app to save an additional 35% off of this sale price when they buy 3 varieties of Cheez-Its.
Don’t miss the Most Valuable Cheese Contest that is taking place from Feb – April 2015.

I feel like I missed years of snack miss chances when I was eating gluten free. This sounds amazing!

Going to have to try this – love snack mixes, too lazy to do it the old fashion way, but the slow-cooker method sounds about right.
