Chex Cereal Snack Mix- Recipes My Mom Gave Me

I love this cereal mix and always have. Make it for your next party (small or big) or just as an option to make a homemade snack.  

Ingredients Needed

  • Chex Cereal: Rice, Corn and Wheat
  • Pretzels
  • Butter
  • Seasoning salt
  • Worcestershire sauce


 Do I Have to Use the Brand "Chex"?

Go ahead and use your favorite brand or store equivalent of a corn/wheat/rice square or a gluten free version or any of them.  They all work!


Add Ins & Flavor Ideas

We like to keep ours pretty basic. Just the cereal and 2 cups of pretzels. However, you can add in a whole bunch of add-ins.  Stick with 2 cups of add-ins total. For example:

  • bagel chips
  • mini bread sticks
  • small crackers (ex: Cheez its or Goldfish)
  • mixed nuts
  • spice it up with a little hot sauce
  • add more/less seasoning salt 


Cereal

I added 3 cups of each cereal flavor. But, you can go with any combination you wish. As long as it equals 9 cups total (of cereal), you will be good to go.

Pan Size

I use a flat rimmed baking sheet(see recipe card) for our mix.  It's 17.9' x 12.9' x 1'.  You can also use a large roasting pan.
