Oven Baked Chex Mix

Thanks for sharing!

This classic crunchy cereal snack mix is coated with butter and savory seasonings then baked until crispy and delicious in the oven. Homemade Chex mix is a Christmas time must have in our family, but we love it all year!

This classic Chex mix recipe is perfect.  Each pieces is coated with savory seasoned goodness and it is baked to crisp perfection. 

There are no little packets of mix to remember, just simple ingredients you are likely to already have in your pantry. It is good for holiday gatherings, parties, road trip snacks and more. 

Chex mix is anther one of my family’s Christmas staples.  My grandma used to make huge tubs of it for when we were all around.

My mom makes it every year too.  My brother Clint can eat his weight in it.

My brother K.C. says Chex mix is his favorite Christmas cookie! 😉

I remember getting out the Chex mix pan and making it every year.  You coat the goodies in seasonings and butter then bake it, stirring every so often until it is just right.

So imagine my surprise when all of the chex mix recipes had you “bake” it in the microwave!  Not my chex mix!

I had the official chex mix pan out and ready to go.  I wasn’t turning to the microwave now.  So, I finally found a recipe and made it the way I remembered it.  Yum!

More great snack mix recipes:

If you love this but want to do something a little bit different, try my recipe for dilly ranch Chex mix.  It is a lot of the same basic ingredients but with a completely different seasoning profile.

Or for a smaller batch of ranch goodness try making dill and ranch oyster crackers. They take soup crackers to the next level of savory yuminess.

For a sweet and salty cereal mix, try caramel crispix mix.  It is finished in the microwave, so it is extra quick and easy!

For a trail mix inspired cereal snack, try my peanut butter maple snack mix.  It is all the goodness of gorp with a fun twist.
