Quick & Easy Holiday Chex Mix

Quick & Easy Holiday Chex Mix

My dad has been baking holiday Chex mix since I can remember. Along with our Christmas gifts is always a festive tin full of the savory snack topped with a bow. He still makes his delicious version, but I’ve started making it as well. With five kids between my boyfriend and me, I typically end up making at least three batches per season and that doesn’t count what we make for gifts. Below is a quick traditional party mix recipe. You can get creative with additional ingredients, but I like to keep it simple. 

Ingredients 

3 c. rice Chex cereal 

3 c. corn Chex cereal 

3 c. wheat Chex cereal 

2 c. pretzel sticks 

2 c. of mixed nuts (I used deluxe mixed nuts)

6 tbs. butter/margarine (melted)

2 tbs. Worcestershire sauce 

1 ½ tsp. seasoning salt 

1 tsp. garlic powder 

1 tsp. onion powder 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 225 degrees

Put all dry ingredients (cereal, pretzels, nuts) in a large bowl and mix 

Whisk together the other ingredients 

Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and blend 

Spray a large baking sheet with olive oil spray 

Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet 

Bake in oven for one hour, stirring every 10 minutes 

Enjoy!
