Ever make Chex Mix?
When I was a kid in the 1960s, my mother made Chex mix. Made from 2 or 3
Chex cereal flavors, pretzels, nuts, and maybe more.... It was mixed and coated with some sort of spicy flavored coating. But what was that coating????? was it baked in the oven, or just sprayed on, or what???? I only remember it was very good and tastey...... Yea, today you can buy the mix at any store, but it's dull and lacks flavor. Its mostly just cereal and a few pretzels. Mom is gone, so I cant ask her.... Has anyone on here made this stuff? |

I think my mom used margarine and Worcestershire sauce. Surely there is a recipe online. Yep. Although my mom only used peanuts and not mixed nuts. Pretzel sticks and no bagel chips. https://www.chex.com/recipes/original-chex-mix/ |

I don't think it's very spicy but it is piquant. The coating consists mostly of sugar and oil. It is mixed into the dry cereal and baked at a low temperature to dry out the sticky mixture. There is a variation of Chex Mix where the cereal is coated with a mixture of chocolate and peanut and sugar. It's not baked and kids dig it. These days, I like to make furikake Chex mix which is the hapa-haole version of Chex Mix i.e., half Japanese, half American. It is a most remarkable snack. https://saucymommy.wordpress.com/201...kake-chex-mix/ |

Dear Average CLUELESS Person:
Look at a box of Chex cereal, and there is the "recipe" in all its glory...butter, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt...don't know what else if anything...and you can make it yourself. I make it at least once a year at the holidays. No mystery. Did it never occur to you to look??? N. |

I'm with you, itsjoan...that stuff is addictive, and easily gobbled up without thinking about it, like
when I am reading or watching a movie. ;-)). I confess, when I make it, it is usually mostly because I want some, not because someone else asked for it. N. |

I'm not jumping through hoops because Nancy2 doesn't quote. :) I do love Chex Mix, though. Haven't made it in years. Yes, it's as simple as reading the recipe on any one of the three boxes of Chex cereals. Rice, Corn or Wheat Chex. Jill |

I love Chex Mix too. I probably last made it three or four years ago. The problem is that I have to buy three boxes of Chex, and I don't use them all. The partial box of Wheat Chex languishes until I finally throw it out two years later. I don't like it as a breakfast cereal. I suppose I could do a box and a box and a box and up the other ingredients. Then I'd have a ton that cost a fortune. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Maybe this year again. By the way, the pre-mixed stuff in the snack food aisle sucks! They ought to be ashamed. leo |
