Chewy Coconut Chex Mix

During the summer we have lots of road trips and camp outs with friends and family.  Of course when you go out of town the diet goes out the window but who really cares is my motto!  We were getting ready to head down south for a family reunion and I just knew I needed to make this.

  I personally need to have all sorts of snacks in the car....I personally think it helps the drive go by faster.  Snacks are always great to be around when you sit outside and play cards, hang out at the fire or just relax and just eat a variety of snacks and have a good time with friends.
