Spicy Chex Mix
This spin on the classic has a salty & spicy punch and it is completely addictive, enjoy!
Ingredients
- 8 cups mixed Chex cereal, rice, corn or wheat
- 2 cups bagel chips
- 2 cups gold fish
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- ¾ cups unsalted butter
- 6 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup hot sauce, I used
Frank's Red Hot - ⅓ cup honey
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 3 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
For Finishing, optional
- 1 TBSP sea salt
- 1 TBSP chili seasoning mix, here's my Chili Seasoning Mix Recipe.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 275 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Place the remaining ingredients (the next 8) in a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir until the butter has melted.
- Pour over the dry ingredients and coat the dry ingredients completely.
- Spread the mixture onto your baking sheets and place in a 275 degree oven.
- Bake for 75 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and toss one last time with the salt and chili seasoning mix (this is optional). Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Once cool, enjoy and cheers 🍻.
Notes
- CAUTION - This Chex Mix has spice, but if you love spice, you will absolutely love this version of the classic.
- I opted not to include nuts, but you certainly could. Chex Mix is one of those snack foods where you can get creative, i.e. nuts, dried fruit, pumpernickel chips 😋, Cherrios, the list goes on and on.
- The mixture will seem wet between tossing, but don't worry because the low temperature cooking will crisp up the mixture.
- This snack mix can be stored at room temp and will last 2-3 weeks (who are we kidding, right?) if stored in an airtight storage container or bag.
