Spicy Chex Party Mix

Making Chex Mix at home allows you to reduce the salt, bump up the spice and include all of your favorite snack items in one delicious mix.

I’m known to be picky when it comes to my snack preferences. I love Chex Mix, but always pick something out, wish there was something added or want it extra spicy or sweet. Making various mixes at home allows me the freedom to make it exactly the way I like it. I actually hate pretzels but have found that the pretzel Goldfish are a great alternative that I don’t mind eating and won’t deprive the pretzel lovers in my life. Feel free to mix this up however you choose, just try and have the dry ingredients add up to about 15 cups to keep the same seasoned butter to mix ratio.
