    This was so good! Made it for Super Bowl and my family is devouring it. I did sprinkle with a little extra salt and I think next time I will add more buffalo sauce. I love that you could use whatever mix of things you have on hand…mixed nuts, Cheerios, Goldfish crackers, corn chips…all would work well in this!
