Chex Mix Recipe
When our family gets together we love to play games, especially team card games that tend to go on for hours. All the vigorous gaming activity means we need to stock up on snacks to keep everyone filled and energized. I have a pretty lengthy list of snacks that I make on rotation, but this Chex mix recipe almost always makes an appearance. Plus, it will fill your house with the most amazing flavor as it bakes, which is a win-win in my book. This Chex mix recipe is also the perfect snack for football games, parties and any other type of get-togethers. Just place a serving bowl out with a scoop and some individual bowls and watch it fly off the table. I can practically guarantee you will not have any leftovers.
Chex Mix Ingredients and Substitutions
Another reason to love this simple Chex mix recipe is that it can be customized to your preferences. I have a list of suggested ingredients below, but if you don’t like one of the ingredients, just leave it out and adjust the volume of something else to make up for it! Our Chex mix recipe below is loaded with 3 kinds of Chex cereal, crackers, Cheerios, pretzels, and peanuts tossed and baked in savory flavors. It is salty, savory, and addicting! This recipe can also be turned into a gluten free Chex mix recipe fairly easily. Chex cereal itself is gluten free, except for the wheat flavor. This Chex mix recipe calls for corn and rice Chex, both of which are already GF. Rather than doing all three Chex cereals, just do a mix of the corn and rice versions and skip the wheat altogether. You’ll just need to sub in whatever your preferred gluten free pretzels and crackers are, and make sure to choose a GF Worcestershire sauce and you’re set. As an added bonus, this Chex mix recipe is already vegetarian as well. In short, this really is the perfect snack to make that nearly everyone can munch on and enjoy.
How Long Does Chex Mix Last?
If you’re anything like me, sometimes you like to get ahead a bit. If so, you definitely need to make this snack! The Chex mix recipe will last up to 4 weeks in an airtight container like an OXO POP container. You can also keep the mix in a ziplock bag or lidded food storage container, but it may not last quite as long. If you do use a ziplock bag, make sure to squeeze as much of the air out as possible before sealing.
