  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheets.
  • After the snack mix has cooled to room temperature you can add any meltable mix-ins if you so choose (like M&M’s or chocolate), and serve.
  • Transfer to a bowl with a tight lid or an airtight container.

Notes

Storage: Chex Mix should last 1-2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. 
Slow cooker method: Cook on "low" for 3 hours, stirring every 60 minutes to prevent burning.
No bake method: After adding the seasoned butter mixture to the snack mix, cool, then store for up to 1 week at room temperature.
Gifting: Add the desired amount of Chex mix into cellophane bags or mason jars. Finish with a pretty ribbon or bow and a custom gift tag.
