I thought I would go ahead and post our favorite homemade Chex party mix recipe again. We will be enjoying this yummy Chex party mix {by the handful} over the next few days.
It just wouldn’t be Christmas without it in my book.
Do you make some version of this recipe around the holidays too? And why does it seem like it’s only eaten around the holidays {or the SuperBowl}?

My family likes it extra spicy so we use 6 Tablespoon of the Worchestershire sauce. I leave out the seasoned salt as don’t want it to be too salty.
Another thing I do is mix up multiple batches at once. I might not bake them all but the ingredients are all measured out into 2, 3 or 4 of the gallon size ziploc bags. Seems easier to get all boxes out once, measure all at once. Then I just stick the uncooked bags back on the snack shelf until ready to make another batch.

Mavis,
This is close to what my family has been doing since before I was born….almost 50 years ago. We use the entire box of each Chex, plus a small box of Cheerios, olive oil in place of butter, and no onion powder. It fits in my large, blue canning kettle. I make 3 large batches every year to give away to neighbors. I also send to my son across the country, the other kids get theirs when they stop in, and we enjoy the rest. It’s a nice change from all the sweet at Christmas. It is a tradition that starts the day after Thanksgiving.

Try a shake of celery salt & a dash of Liquid Smoke in the mix. Takes it to the next level!!
