Chex Mix
Description
Traditional Chex Mix brings together several types of Chex cereals—corn, rice, and wheat—combined evenly with peanuts and pretzels. The mix is tossed in a butter-based sauce seasoned with Worcestershire sauce and seasoned salt, which imparts a smoky, salty depth to the snack.
The Chex Mix is baked at a low temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour, stirred every 15 minutes to ensure even crisping and coating. Baking allows the cereal and nuts to absorb the savory flavors while developing a satisfying crunch without getting burnt or overly dry.
After baking and cooling, this snack mix can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks, although it tastes freshest within the first few days. It is also suitable for freezing up to three months, which helps preserve the texture and flavor for later enjoyment.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 ½ Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2 ⅔ cup corn chex cereal
- 2 ⅔ cup rice chex cereal
- 2 ⅔ cup wheat chex cereal
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 cup pretzels
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl combine butter, Worcestershire sauce and seasoned salt. Mix until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss to coat.

Notes
- Store cooled Chex Mix in an airtight container for up to two weeks; best consumed within 2-3 days for optimal flavor.
- This mix freezes well for up to three months; thaw at room temperature before eating to restore texture.
- Use a hard-sided container for freezing to prevent the mix from getting crushed.
