This lemon chex mix is one of our favorite lemon recipes.

My workplace is flooded with snacks, a hazardous workplace of sorts to be certain.  That said, we don’t have a lot of snacks around our house, and it is a rarity when I make a bona fide snack.

What is this?

I would love to say that I don’t like to snack.  That would be a blatant untruth.

We get all sorts of requests here on Platter Talk.  Some people ask for quinoa recipes.  Some want specific cakes, others ask for things on the grill.  When I was asked to put some snack ideas together, as odd as this sounds, I was at a loss for what to make.

Like almost all of my “recipe blocks” (as seldom as they may be) this one lasted for only a very short time.   Indeed, I found one that has only a few ingredients, uses things that are all common to our pantry and includes no fewer than two of my favorite things on earth: Chocolate and lemons.

Because this was an easy, and in all likelihood, because this was a designated snack recipe, our sixth-grader Joe volunteered to be my most eager of assistants.  To both son and dad’s delight, this little snack recipe was a hit.  Give these crunchy little treats a try; they’re sure to please the snack lover in all of you.  Happy crunching and happy summer.  -Dan.
