One thing we all seem to have in common is that we all either go to parties or host parties.

If you are one that goes to a party my guess is you bring a treat.

For those of us who host parties, having that go-to recipe that is easy to make truly comes in handy. 

I am all about having little cocktail party glasses filled with party mix.  

Party mixes come in all textures with all different kinds of ingredients but to me, nothing says celebration like beautiful color intertwined throughout the mix.

Color is what attracts your eye to the party mix and the taste should complement any libation or beverage in hand.

My recipe is super easy and my key ingredients sing color and deliver big on ‘sweet’ taste. 

Today, I will share with you the Dana Vento, coveted, easy sweet and salty party mix, that is no-bake, no-cook and lets you lavishly live your party time out loud!

Easy Sweet and Salty Party Mix 

Is it a trail mix? 

Maybe it is just easy sweet and salty.

Scattered about, my guests will find lots of Margarita and Martini glasses filled with this easy sweet and salty party mix.

It’s a festive touch that your guests will enjoy, too.

My mix uses the best of products to create both sweet and salty.  

For today, I’d like to concentrate on the sweet.  

A NOTE ABOUT ALLERGIES …

I chose the Pearls because they are Gluten Free, Kosher and made in a facility that does not process nuts (please note the nut-free pertains to the ones in the little packages, not the shaker jars).  

As you all know my son has horrible food allergies so finding this product was a godsend.

Party mix options are endless because Celebration By Frey has such a wide array  (decor, baking items, ) to make your party mixes as inviting to look at as they are to snack on.  You can choose any colors you want, but I chose these for boys and girls at a birthday party I hosted.
