So it is that time of year where Chex Mix is very, very popular! I remember when my grandpa was living, every single year his sister would send him a HUGE box of homemade Chex mix and, for some reason, she made the absolute best mix! I am not sure what she did differently, but hers truly stood out. She lived several states away and I always looked forward to him receiving that package!
Looking for an easy gift idea for friends, family or co-workers? Try wrapping your favorite Chex Party Mix in a colorful tin or bag and personalize it with your own recipe card. Here are a few recipes that you could try:
3 cups Rice Chex® cereal
3 cups Wheat Chex® cereal
1 cup mixed nuts
1 cup bite-size pretzels
1 cup garlic-flavor bite-size bagel chips or regular-size bagel chips, broken into 1-inch pieces
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Oven Directions: Heat oven to 250°F. In large bowl, mix cereals, nuts, pretzels and bagel chips; set aside. In ungreased large roasting pan, melt butter in oven. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in cereal mixture until evenly coated. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool, about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container.
Here you can try the Buttery Trail Mix recipe - I think it would be really good!

Ingredients:
4 cups Wheat Chex® cereal
1/3 cup butter or magarine, melted
1 cup raisins
1 cup candy-coated milk chocolate candies
1 jar (12 oz) dry roasted peanuts
2. Add remaining ingredients; toss to mix. Store in airtight container.
To make things even sweeter, Kroger Family of Stores will have Chex cereal on sale so you can impress your guests without stressing your wallet. For 3 weeks, from December 2nd - December 25th, Kroger will offer Chex cereal at their lowest prices of the year!
