SPICY PARTY MIX

When a recipe for a seasoned snack mix first appeared on the back of the Chex cereal box in the 1950s, people went crazy for it. Years later, a Google search for the recipe yields more than two million results for various riffs, from savory to spicy to sweet. Many call for tossing the dry ingredients with the wet, then letting the mix dry on paper towels, but baking it at a low temperature yields crisper, more flavorful results. Hot sauce gives this version a bit of a kick, but if you don't like heat, you can leave it out. View this recipe as a template to tweak as you see fit: Use crunchy, roasted edamame or green peas in place of the nuts, substitute Thai red curry paste or Sriracha for the hot sauce, or double up on whatever ingredients you like best. Keep the dry-to-wet ratios the same and you can't go wrong.

Steps:

  • Arrange racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat to 250 degrees. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Combine cereal, nuts, pretzels and add-ins in a very large bowl. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave in 20-second increments, about 1 minute. (You can also do this in a small saucepan over low heat on the stovetop.) Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  • Add half of the melted butter mixture to the cereal mixture. Gently and thoroughly fold to combine. Add the rest of the melted butter mixture and stir until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Divide the mixture evenly across the prepared pans. Bake, stirring and switching racks every 15 minutes, until crisp and slightly darkened in color, about 1 hour. Cool completely on the pans on wire racks before serving (if you can wait that long). Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.

9 cups rice, corn or wheat Chex or Crispix cereal, or a combination
2 cups any kind of lightly salted nut
2 cups small pretzels
3 cups add-ins, such as cheese crackers, rice crackers, bagel chips, sesame sticks or a combination
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon onion powder, plus more to taste

CHEX MIX RECIPES - SAVORY AND SWEET SNACK MIX RECIPES

From thekitchn.com
  • Honey-Mustard Snack Mix. Why yes, this is the homemade version of your favorite super-crunchy snack mix! While it is perfect for a party, it makes very good after school snack fodder, too.
  • Slow-Cooker Chex Party Mix. Being able to cook this popular snack in the slow cooker has saved me more times than I can count. You can use this technique anytime your oven is busy with other things, but it’s also great for office parties, tailgating, or during a kitchen remodel.
  • Churro Chex Mix. Creamy, crispy, and cinnamon scented, this Chex mix tastes a lot like one of our favorite fried dough treats: the Mexican Churro . Classic corn and wheat Chex cereal are the base of this treat, but caramel and cinnamon really play up their sweet flavors.
  • Tajín Chex Mix. Tajín, a spice blend of chili powder, salt, and dehydrated lime juice, is spicy, salty, and a little tangy all at once. It’s most commonly sprinkled over fresh fruit, but we love it on this buttery cereal-and-cracker mix, too.
  • Fast & Fancy Chex Mix. Think of this as classic Chex mix with its Sunday best on. Brown butter and honey roasted peanuts really amp up the sweet and salty flavors of our favorite snack mix.
  • Snickers Chex Mix. This decidedly sweet version of snack mix is based on one of our favorite candy bars. Make this for movie night and your friends will never want to leave.
  • Peanut Butter & Jelly Chex Mix. This nostalgic take on our favorite sandwich uses dried cherries and creamy peanut butter chips for easy snack-able flavor.
  • Buffalo-Style Chex Mix. This is the one snack mix you need for every game day, tailgate, and cook out. All other snack mixes are left in the dust of this speedy, spicy Chex mix.
  • Tropical Chex Mix. Dried fruit and crisp coconut just belong in snack mix — and this version is proof. This is one of my personal favorite variations because you can’t find this unique twist on Chex mix in any store and guests are always impressed!
  • Chili Cheese Chex Mix. You’re definitely going to need napkins for your cheese fingers from this one! Chili seasoning and cheese powder are easy upgrades to Chex mix and makes it even harder to resist.
