Addicting Christmas Chex Mix

This Christmas Chex Mix is crunchy, salty and seriously Addicting!

It’s Christmas Time! My very favourite time of the year. In my family it isn’t Christmas without this super Addicting Christmas Chex Mix!

I love how every family is different; we all have our own traditions. My family has made this delicious and addicting snack for years; the ingredients may vary every Christmas but the excitement over this crunchy snack remains the same.  Does your family have a special tradition? 

My grandma gives out Christmas Chex Mix as gifts every single year. We love it so much! This year I heard rumours she had decided not to make it, but everyone she told freaked out and begged her to continue on the tradition. It simply would not be the same without this yummy snack. I hope you love this as much as my family does!

How to make Christmas Chex Mix

This is the best way to make Christmas Chex Mix! Here’s how:

Preheat oven to 250°. Melt the butter and pour into a large mixing bowl. Add the worcestershire, sea salt, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder, then mix until fully combined. Add the chex, shreddies, pretzels and bbq peanuts. Toss the ingredients until the snacks are fully coated, then spread evenly over two baking sheets.

Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes to ensure even baking. Cool completely before storing in an air tight container.

Expert Tips

1. If stored in an air tight container, it will last 4-6 weeks at room temperature.
2. Want it to last longer? Freeze it! Store it in an air tight freezer safe ziploc, and it will last 4-6 months in the freezer.
3. Pack this Christmas Chex Mix into festive Christmas tins to give away as delicious, easy and affordable gifts!
