Spicy Chex Mix
It really starts to feel like the holidays when I’m sitting down with an entire trough of my mom’s Spicy Chex Mix. This recipe makes 18 cups and yeah. I could easily eat all 18 of them myself. It’s just the way it is. Although, Chex Mix does make an excellent homemade gift, (see bottom of this post for festive tins that you can put this in)! My favorite part of this recipe is that it’s an easy make-ahead recipe that you can make weeks ahead of time if you want! Scroll down for all the info!
Make-Ahead Method
Chex Mix is a great recipe to make ahead of time because it keeps well when stored in an airtight container. You can prepare the entire recipe up to two weeks ahead of time. Store in an airtight container prior to serving.
Snack Mix
Cheese Crackers: Any variety of cheese crackers are good in this recipes. I love using Cheez Its and/or Goldfish. Chex: I always use a combination of rice and corn chex, but you can stick to just one variety. I use 9 cups in this recipe, 1 (18 oz.) box is enough for that amount. Nuts: I add a lot of whole cashews to the mix as well as a container of mixed nuts. Pretzels: Thin pretzel sticks are a perfect addition to this recipe.
Spicy Sauce
Butter- Since crackers and nuts are already salty, you may want to stick with unsalted butter. Worcestershire Sauce Chili Powder Tabasco Sauce Garlic Powder
Large Measuring Cup with a Spout– Makes it easy to to add the sauce to the Chex mix. Large Baking Sheets Decorative Tins, perfect for gift-giving.
