The BEST Homemade Chex Mix Recipe
I don't know about you, but I have come to really love homemade snack mixes. Mostly because I have the power to add whatever ingredients I want and adjust my seasonings accordingly. For these reasons and so much more, I am so excited to bring you The BEST Homemade Chex Mix Recipe and introduce you to a deliciously, salty snack that is way better than anything you can get in a store.
Equipment
- 1 Large mixing bowl
- 2 large sheet pans
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 9 cups Corn Chex cereal You can substitute wheat Chex, rice Chex, or any other kinds of Chex that you like.
- 1 cup white cheddar Cheese crackers
- 1 cup spicy Cheez-Its
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 cup raw whole almonds
- 1 cup parmesan pretzel chips
- 1 stick of salted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Cavender's seasoning
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Second, add the cereal, crackers, nuts, and pretzels to a large bowl and toss to combine.
- Third, in a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and Cavender's seasoning and whisk.
- Next, pour the melted butter mixture on top of the cereal mixture and mix really well. (I like to use gloves and do this with my hands. That way I can make sure that every piece is covered in the butter and seasonings.)
- Then, pour the Chex Mix onto the prepared baking sheet. (I used 2 large baking sheets, but you might want to use 3 to get the mix in a single layer.)
- Bake the Chex mix for 2 hours, tossing and stirring it every 20 minutes.
- Finally, remove the Chex mix from the oven, let it cool, place in an airtight container and enjoy!
