Have a handfull!
By 1954 the Original Chex Mix recipe was on the Wheat Chex box. Before Corn Chex or Bagel Chips were invented. Since then there have been over 33 more “original” recipes for Chex Mix from the Betty Crocker Kitchens, so you may be confused as to which one to choose. After trying many, here is a great one which has held for the last 6 years.
1 stick (8 tbsp) regular salted butter
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp Lawry’s seasoned salt
3/4 tsp garlic powder (Not garlic salt.)
2 cups each Corn, Rice & Wheat Chex + 1 more cup of your favorite Chex.
2 cups of Planters deluxe mixed nuts (No peanuts!)
1 cup Snyder’s Pretzel Sticks
Melt butter in a #12 skillet or open roasting pan while oven preheats to 235º F. Remove pan & stir in seasonings. Add the rest & stir to coat evenly. Bake 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool & store in airtight 4 qt. container, not in refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks if you don’t share it. If you share it, storage is not an issue.
Note: If you substitute or change any of the above ingredients it will taste terrible.
Chex Mix is not just for Christmas anymore.
