Next up in our holiday appetizers and party snacks extravaganza is Kris Kringle Krunch.

This quick and easy snack mix beats out icky Chex cereal mix anyday, although ironically it actually contains Corn Chex cereal.

The mixture of nuts and syrup topping makes for a delicious salty-sweet party snack. This could also be placed in decorative jars or cute tins and taken to parties as a hostess gift. Or you could just sit and eat it while watching Christmas movies. Either.
