I've been craving Chex mix, but I don't like the bags of already made mix. I used to make my own years ago, but I found a good recipe on line today. I used five cups of Rice Chex cereal, five cups of plain Cheerios, and two cups of unsalted roasted peanuts. I poured one stick (1/2 cup melted) butter, mixed with one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce over the cereal and nuts. Then sprinkled a tablespoon of salt, which was almost too much salt. Mixed it all together good, baked it in a 300 degree F for about 30 minutes until all of it was crispy. Now it's cooling so I can put it in a container for snacks later. There are all kinds of things you can add like bagel chips, cheese crackers, pecans, pretzel sticks, and other kinds of cereal. I didn't have any of those, so when you crave something, you make do with what you've got! Do you make this snack? What all do you put in it? Is it called Chex mix where you live?

I got this as a gift at work several years ago. Not this exact one, but using the same basic idea. I thought about doing this for family and friends as part of their Christmas present. The flea market has a stall where these people make some delicious flavored peanuts, cashews, pecans etc. I thought about doing that as well. Buying some wholesale and making flavored yummies out of them.

That sounds like a great idea. And home made snacks always make yummy Christmas gifts.

@1creekgirl Yes, I don't really know any recipes for them but I am sure I can find that online. I was thinking one with a bit of heat behind it and one that was sweet.

I'm not sure if we have Chex here or not. I'll have to look on the shelves next time I'm in town.

@1creekgirl I sort of guessed that. The word sounds familiar which makes me think we might have it. We're off to town shortly so I'll try to remember to look for it.

I like it..but that is the kind of thing I really shouldn't make because I could easily eat the whole bowl myself. I would find it very hard to stay out of.

I'm the same way. No self control.

It is nice that you had made a yummy snack in your kitchen lab. I haven’t tried to make one though.
