Caramel Corn Chex Mix

I am pooped! It has been a horribly long week, and I feel like I have run in circles the whole time.  We are also expecting a blast of cold weather, and rain.  I am ready to curl up with a blanket, and a movie and just get comfy!!

This Caramel Corn Chex mix is a family favorite and is sure to hit the spot while we watch our movie tonight!  Plus it is very easy to whip up a batch or two!!
