Game Day Snack: Olive Oil Chex Mix

This healthy snack is quick to disappear at our house. Start a batch an hour before the kickoff and enjoy once the game begins!

Olive Oil Chex Mix is a perfect game day snack because:

1. It uses extra virgin olive oil in place of margarine or butter 
2. It freezes easily - so make a double batch and save some for later
3. It's savory and delicious
