I have made this delicious snack mix many times over the years. I have listed a few tips that I wish I would have known when I first made this recipe. Follow the instructions and tips below, and you will have perfectly delicious, and highly addictive gooey Chex mix.
Boil: Make sure after butter mixture comes to a boil you let it boil for 2-3 minutes, continually stirring.
Nuts: If you’re not a fan of slivered almonds feel free to use peanuts, cashews, or pecans. They are all great options.
Butter: This recipe calls for unsalted butter. If you only have salted butter on hand, omit the salt.
Large Bowl: Be sure to use a large bowl when making this recipe. It makes quite a bit, so you need a bowl large enough to mix ingredients properly.
Small Batch: If you would like to make a smaller batch, cut recipe in half.
How To Store Sweet Chex Mix
If you have extra Chex mix leftover, store it in an airtight container or a large Ziplock bag for up to 5 days. If your anything like my family, this sweet Chex mix only lasts a couple days.
