This classic Chex Mix recipe is crunchy, buttery, and has a hint of sweetness mixed in! It’s super quick and easy to make, as well! This snack mix is great for parties, as an after school snack, and more, so mix up a batch today!
When I’m sitting at home working on the computer or bingeing my latest Netflix series, I love having something to munch on. Sometimes I want something sweet; other times, only a savory snack will do.
This Homemade Chex Mix is a little of both! Pretzels, crackers, and nuts provide that savory, salty taste, while M&Ms and slightly sweetened cereal give you just enough sugary goodness to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Hey, I know these days you can run to the grocery store and pick up a bag of Chex Mix to snack on. But have you seen the price of groceries lately? Now, admittedly, buying all the ingredients you need for this recipe takes a little chunk of change, but you can make way more Chex Mix than what comes in those store-bought bags.
Overall, it’s not only cheaper to make your own Chex Mix, but it’s healthier too as you can customize it exactly to your taste buds and preferences.
Gather the following items to make your own snack mix:
The exact amounts and detailed instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
This recipe is super quick and easy! You may have to bake in batches, though if you don’t have a large baking sheet.
Of course! Add in any combination of Chex cereals that you like. Make sure to keep the overall amount of Chex cereal the same– 6 cups total of cereal.
Chex mix is best fresh or the same day it is made, however, it will last up to a week in an airtight container or bag at room temperature.
The mixture should be lightly toasted. You’ll know it is done when the mixture starts to turn light golden brown.
