Real Original Chex Party Mix Recipes

HOMEMADE CHEX® PARTY MIX

This homemade snack mix recipe my mom has had since it originated in the 1940s. This was always a holiday favorite at our house. So much better than the newer versions with a richer flavor with the extra butter. This is a very hard-to-find recipe so I thought I'd share. Great to put in tins and give away. I always quadruple the recipe and store extra in freezer. Store in an airtight container or large zip-top bags.

ORIGINAL 1956 CHEX PARTY MIX

Did you know that Chex Party Mix developed with the introduction of TV watching into daily life? It was a snack that could be eaten without interrupting a TV show! This recipe came off the back of a cereal box, probably around 1956. It is way different than many of the recipes you find on line today.
