Classic Oven-Baked Chex Mix

A classic crunchy and spicy cereal snack mix baked crispy in the oven. It is a Christmas time classic in our family, but we love it all year!

     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 bake it, stirring every so often until it is just right.

Our family's official chex mix pan, my great-grandma's roasting pan.

    So imagine my surprise when all of the chix 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!
