Chex Snack Mix

Chex Snack Mix

Chex snack mix is such a treat. It seems like a lot of work but is really a cinch once everything’s on hand. I’ve put a bowl out at parties, taken it to work for a snack, and included it with gift baskets. It will stay crunchy and fresh in an airtight container or zip top bags, perfect for a grab and go snack. It disappears in a hurry so make a double batch!

All the crunchy, salty craving factors are satisfied with Chex Snack Mix. Crisp Chex, salty pretzels, crunchy rye crisps, and cheesy goodness with the cheese crackers. If you like a little sweet mixed in, throw in some chocolate chips or M&Ms. The only problem is, it disappears very quickly!

In case you misplace the recipe it’s usually on the back of the Chex cereal box so you have it handy when you’re grocery shopping!

A great salty, crunchy snack with some zip. I like Chex Mix for snacking at the office or on a road trip. Portion it out into zip top bags or air tight containers and it'll stay fresh for your salty snack cravings.

Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Chex
  • 3 cups Corn Chex
  • 3 cups Wheat Chex
  • 1 cup mixed nuts
  • 1 cup bite sized pretzels
  • 1 cup rye chips
  • 1 cup cheez-it crackers
  • 8 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Instructions
 

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees
  • In a very large bowl, mix cereal, nuts, pretzels, and crackers. Set aside
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan on the stovetop or you can microwave in an uncovered bowl for 40-60 seconds, until melted. Stir in seasonings. Pour over cereal mixture, stir until evenly coated. I do this a little at a time, mixing in between additions of butter.
  • Spread mix on 2-3 large, rimmed baking sheets and place in the 250 degree oven. Stir mixture every 15 minutes until mixture has baked for 1 hour and is crisp. You can also microwave on high, uncovered, 5-6 minutes stirring every 2 minutes.
  • Let cool and store in an airtight container

Notes

*For a spicy twist, replace 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce with ¼ cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
