Tips for Making Chex Mix

• Pour the butter mixture over slowly, and stir gently. Fast stirring breaks up the square cereal, and pouring it all at once leaves patches uncoated.
• Stir every 15 minutes and keep the oven low. It dries evenly instead of scorching, and the seasoning does not burn.
• Let it cool completely on paper. The mix continues to crisp as it cools, and grease drains away.

What to Serve with Chex Mix

• Ice-cold beer
• Game-day snacks
• Cheese and crackers

Storing & Reheating Chex Mix
