Key Lime Snack Mix

When I first tried this snack mix I was not sure about it. It tasted good, but I was not sure it was something I wanted to make again, let alone blog. Then the next day at work I couldn't wait to get home and have it again.

As I was eating it again, I realized my issue was the fact that it was missing the key lime flavor I love so much. But that is because I substituted limes for key limes. I have never seen key limes in my grocery store. I have lived in in three different sates in the midwest and have never come across ley limes. One of these days I hope to find key limes so I do not have to substitute with bottled key lime juice or fresh limes.
