Chex Mix

You can get the Chex mix recipe off any box of Chex. The recipe has evolved over the years, which is fine, but General Mills recently removed the oven directions! The world is crazy enough, so I'm preserving the oven instructions here, so I don't have to remember them. 🤣

There are many, many variations on this recipe. Add and/or substitute however you like! Bugles, Cheez Its,  Goldfish . . . there are infinite options!

Modern Chex Mix

This is the latest formula taken from a box of Chex cereal, but I've added back oven directions and included my variations.

Ingredients

• 3 cups Corn Chex

• 3 cups Rice Chex

• 3 cups Wheat Chex

• 1 cup mixed nuts -- I don't like mixed nuts, so I use peanuts, cashews, or a mix of both. I suspect that pistachios would also be good.

• 1 cup bite-size pretzels

• 1 cup garlic-flavor bite-size bagel chips -- I usually use Gardetto's Special Request Garlic Rye Chips instead.

• 6 TBSP butter -- I up the butter to 8 TBSP (1 stick)

• 2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce

• 1½ tsp seasoned salt

• ¾ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 250°F

2. While the oven is preheating, place the butter in a roasting pan or other shallow pan that can accommodate all the ingredients and allow for easy mixing.

3. Once the butter is melted, remove the pan from the oven; add the Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to the butter and mix it up.

4. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan, and mix well (Be gentle! You don't want to crush all of your Chex!)

5. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

6. Remove to paper towels to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. (I always eat some while it's still warm!)
