Can I make a gluten free version of crock pot Chex mix?

Yes! If you have a gluten-intolerance, just be sure to use gluten-free cereals, pretzels and crackers and you are good to go!

Is there any way to make this Chex mix spicy?

If you prefer your snacks on a spicy side, you can add a little cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to the butter and other seasonings.

How far in advance can I make slow cooker Chex mix?

Once you have cooked and cooled the Chex mix, transfer it to an airtight container. Keep it at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, and it will keep well for up to 3 weeks. Though I doubt it will last that long!

How do you keep Chex Mix from getting soggy?

Once cooked, it’s important to let the mix cool completely before storing. Spread the mix out onto parchment lined baking sheets in a single layer to allow the air to circulate. This will cool and harden the seasonings and keep the cereals nice and crisp.

Tips!

  • You can use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe. If using salted, decrease the amount of added salt a little.

  • Allow the Chex mix to cool completely before storing or serving.

This is a great snack mix to pop on to your holiday menu. It makes a big batch, so it’s there to grab whenever you need!
