  • Pour hot butter mixture over Chex mix and stir to coat all ingredients well.
  • Pour mixture out onto 2 large cookie sheets and let cool. Stir it around occasionally to avoid clumping.
  • Once it is cooled store it in an airtight container. Enjoy!


    Gooey Chex Mix Variations


    I love this Chex mix just the way it is, but here are a few additions that I think would be great mix ins.

    • If you’re not a fan of almonds try using cashews, peanuts, walnuts, or even a mix nut variation. If you are allergic to nuts, omit them all together and try some of the other options listed below.
    • Add in some pretzel pieces and give it a little more of a sweet and salty flavor.
    • Try adding in some dried fruit such as craisins, dried cherries, or even dried mango.
    • Add in some milk chocolate chip, white chocolate chips, or M&M’s.
