  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.
