Homemade Chex Mix Recipe

It is not Christmas in our house, if we don’t have homemade Chex Mix. The kids look forward to this all year long! And it’s a definite must while we are decorating our Christmas tree. I posted this recipe many, many years ago, but Savannah had a photography project recently where she had to photograph us making a family recipe, so I thought I’d go ahead and share it again. It’s SO good! It’s very similar to the recipe on the box, but it’s the ratios that I use that make it extra special and what makes my kids go nuts for my version!

Ingredients:

1 box Corn Chex Cereal (18 oz)

1 box Rice Chex Cereal (18 oz)

1 box Wheat Chex Cereal (14 oz)

1 bag Pretzels (any shape) (my kids prefer the sticks)

1 box Cheez-Its (Family Size)

(Optional) 2 cups mixed nuts

For the sauce:

3 sticks of salted butter

6 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce

4.5 teaspoons seasoned salt

2.25 teaspoons garlic powder

1.5 teaspoons onion powder

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

• Next, in a large roasting pan combine all cereals, pretzels, Cheez-Its and nuts (if using).

• Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl.

• Add in the Worcestershire sauce and spices. Stir to combine.

• Drizzle the mixture evenly over the mix, stirring to make sure everything is coated.

• Bake in the oven for 1 hour, stirring the mixture every 15 mins.

• Pour Chex mix out on a counter covered with paper towels to cool

And there you have it! Our family’s favorite Homemade Chex Mix, Cottage Mama style!
