Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container or stasher bags at room temperature for up to two weeks. You can also freeze it in freezer-safe bags for up to three months, which makes it perfect for prepping ahead of holidays.
Ingredients: Most Chex Mix recipes call for 3 cups each of corn, rice, and wheat Chex, but I usually skip the wheat. If you love it, add it in.
Serve with: This works great on party tables alongside other snacks, packaged in cellophane bags for gifts, or just kept in a big bowl on the counter for afternoon snacking. It’s perfect for game day, holiday parties, movie nights, or anytime you want something that satisfies both sweet and salty cravings.
