Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

tools needed
Large Bowl: For combining all the ingredients together before serving. Make sure it's big enough to hold all the components.
Airtight Container or Zip-Top Plastic Bags: For storing any leftover snack mix. If you can keep from devouring it all in one sitting, that is.
Serving Bowl or Platter: To serve the snack mix to your friends and family to grab by the handful (or entire fistful, no judgment here).
what goes with it?
Chocolate Covered Pretzels : the salty crunch of the pretzels will complement the sweet chocolate chips in the snack mix.
Salted Caramel Popcorn : the combination of sweet caramel and salty popcorn will add another layer of flavor to the snack mix, making it even more addictive.
Spicy Wasabi Peas : the heat from the wasabi peas will provide a nice kick to the snack mix, adding an unexpected element of spice to the sweet and salty flavors.
Dried Mango Slices : the chewy texture and tropical sweetness of the mango slices will contrast with the crunchy nuts and chocolate chips, creating a fun mix of textures.
Cheese Crackers : the savory and slightly salty flavor of cheese crackers will be a great counterpoint to the sugary sweetness of the yogurt-covered raisins and dried cranberries in the snack mix.

Everyone loves this mix. I decided to add my own items to add color and texture: Popcorn, plain and lightly salted Red and green M&Mâs Yogurt covered pretzels

This mix is very good. For visual interest, I like to add a couple of things like yogurt covered pretzels...and red and green M&M's add holiday color.
