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.

    This recipe looks so good, but I’d be adding some rice chex cereal, some raisins, and a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips to it to really mix it up!

    Depending on mood,I’d add another savory item to go with the pretzels like some peanuts or mixed nuts, or something like dried fruit, maybe cranberries astheyare very popular in my house. I’ve never heard of the little pearls butlove the idea and would love to trysome of the stuff from this company, thanks for the chance to win.

    May be some slivers of almonds or mixed nuts would be a great addition. Looks great the way it is too.

    I’m thinking that some caramel popcorn with a white chocolate glaze would go well with this yummy snack mix.

    I’d add some popcorn to it maybe just the light version of a bagged popcorn I think that would seem good with a soft crunch as well.

    At first, I thought the balls were little meat balls. But, they’re made out of cereal? That’s interesting. This looks like a fun party mix to serve to guests. 🙂

    First, this looks so delicious. And not just because I’m hungry right now.

    Second, I love how cute it is! I would definitely eat this. And especially if it came out of a martini glass. Love it!!
