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 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 mixes:
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.
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.

I never thought of that as the official Chex mix pan but you are right. I made it in there every year until dad got me a new roaster. It's fun to hear this now. Things we just do naturally make a special memory for our children. I love traditions and am glad that you carry them on. That was my biggest pan and we make Chex mix big in our house. I made a triple batch this year. It will get eaten too. That pan was given to me by my grandma McCallum. She would love to know that you use it too.
ReplyDeleteIt's official and KC said he may come borrow it so he can make a batch too!
DeleteThat's fun.
DeleteThat looks delicious! Great to have a pan big enough for such a large batch :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is a great snack and a perfect salty counterbalance to all of the cookies we make this time of year!
