Gluten Free Red Curry Christmas Chex Mix - GIFT

Shhh ... I need you to do me a big favor ...
I want to tell you about this gift that I made for my friend today but it is a surprise.
We share the love of good old fashioned treats and
I can't think of anything better than this homemade gift!

I got a little carried away with singing in the kitchen while I was making this ... 
thank goodness I was alone!
But you can sing along with me to the tune of Jingle Bells!

GLUTEN FREE RED CURRY CHRISTMAS CHEX MIX ...

Dashing through the stores 

In a one not-quite horse powered shopping cart

O'er the aisles we go

What fun it is to laugh and sing 
 while jamin iTunes tonight

OH!

Ok enough frivolity

here it is ...

I decided to go completely without wrapping paper this holiday season.

I bought these cute little re-usable shopping bags from Whole Foods Market for .79¢ each.

What a deal!

I also bought several Anchor Hocking Company Glass Jars made in the USA around $5 at Storables.

Each person that I am giving this Gluten Free homemade gift to in this jar is going to be able to return it to me during the new year to get it refilled with their favorite treat.

And now for the very easy recipe! 

2 cups of each of the Gluten Free Rice, Corn and Honey Nut Chex Mix.

3/4 cup butter or non-dairy butter

2 cups Snyder's of Hanover Gluten Free Pretzel Sticks - I love these - the best! 

2 cups whole Almonds, optional

McCormick's GF seasonings - 

2 tsp Sea Salt

1 Tbs Red Curry Seasoning 

3 tsp Garlic Powder

3 tsp Onion Powder

Pre-heat the oven to 225 degrees.

Mix all of the ingredients with melted butter in a big bowl.

Spread it out on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

Take it out and mix well.

Bake for another 20 minutes repeat mix and baking for a total 60 minutes. 

Add 2 cups Dark Chocolate Christmas Red and Green M M's at the end when the mix has cooled completely after it has baked.  

Put the mix into the jar then the bag, add a red ribbon and good to go! 

My friend loves these old fashioned Gluten Free Bob's Peppermint Candy Canes  

so I grabbed some and added them to the bag! 

Merry Merry 

Gluten Free Red Curry Christmas Chex Mix

To you! 

Give a homemade gift this holiday season - 

they will be glad you did!
