HOMEMADE CHEX® PARTY MIX



Homemade Chex® Party Mix image

This homemade snack mix recipe my mom has had since it originated in the 1940s. This was always a holiday favorite at our house. So much better than the newer versions with a richer flavor with the extra butter. This is a very hard-to-find recipe so I thought I'd share. Great to put in tins and give away. I always quadruple the recipe and store extra in freezer. Store in an airtight container or large zip-top bags.

Tips:

  • Use a Variety of Ingredients: Experiment with different nuts, seeds, pretzels, and other crunchy snacks to create a unique and flavorful party mix.
  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your party mix will taste. Opt for fresh nuts and seeds, and avoid using stale or rancid snacks.
  • Roast Your Nuts: Roasting nuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. To roast nuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Use Freshly Popped Popcorn: Freshly popped popcorn is light and fluffy, and it adds a great crunch to party mix. Avoid using pre-popped popcorn, as it can be stale and tough.
  • Add Some Sweetness: To balance out the salty and crunchy flavors, add some sweetness to your party mix. This can be done with dried fruit, chocolate chips, or candy.
  • Add Some Spice: If you like a little bit of heat, add some spice to your party mix. This can be done with chili powder, cayenne pepper, or paprika.
  • Mix it Up: Once you've chosen your ingredients, mix them together in a large bowl. Be sure to mix everything evenly so that each bite has a variety of flavors and textures.
