The Best Oven Roasted Chex Mix Recipe

October 4, 2011 By

To me, Chex Mix is synonymous with the cold weather. When the sight of colorful leaves falling to the ground quickly turned into falling snow, and lots of it, my mom would a) bust out the crock pot and b) make some homemade chex mix. You could easily go buy one of those seasoning packets found in the cereal aisle, but it’s. just. not. the. same.

Dare I say this is the best Chex Mix? Even better than the bagged kind? Try for yourself and see. There’s nothing fancy about this recipe, just throw all of the ingredients in a roasting pan and cook in the oven for an hour.

    @ Chris:
    This is the second year I have made this recipe, instead of putting in cheerios and pretzels, I put in the garlic rye chips (the brown ones in chex mix) and I use Virginia peanuts instead of regular. I love this recipe, I made it last year with little mason jar tags and put in mason jars to give for Christmastime, everyone asked for the recipe. I also used the cashews it calls for in the recipe. This is one of the best chex mix recipes I have tried, super easy and makes a ton. Good job!

    It sure would be nice if someone would leave a reply AFTER they’ve tried the recipe. Does no one any good to say “that looks good”…
