Original Chex Mix Recipe
Description
This Original Chex Mix recipe uses a combination of corn, rice, and wheat Chex cereals, mixed with bite-sized pretzels and mixed nuts. These are coated with a melted butter mixture seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, garlic salt with parsley, and onion powder. Baking the mixture at 250°F for an hour allows the flavors to meld and the mix to develop a toasted, crisp texture.
Stirring the mix every 15 minutes ensures even coating and baking. Cooling on paper towels allows excess moisture or grease to be absorbed, resulting in a dry, crunchy snack. The mix can then be stored in an airtight container for convenient snacking. This recipe is iconic for its flavorful, handheld, and crunchy snack qualities.
