If you’re a chewy Chex mix fan, you absolutely must try this recipe for Best Ever Chewy Chex Mix. The brown sugar undertone from the Golden Grahams Cereal paired with the buttery, chewy coating on the Chex, slivered almonds, coconut and M&Ms is absolutely fantastic! If you like savory Chex mixes better, try this easy Microwave Chex Party Mix.
I’d never heard of putting Golden Graham Cereal in Chewy Chex Mix until my friend, Heather, mentioned she was thinking about making some for the Super Bowl a few weeks ago.

I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So when I found myself at the grocery store next, somehow all the ingredients ended up in my cart.
Since I happened to have all the ingredients, I decided to make it on Super Bowl Sunday, too. Let’s just say it was a “Touchdown!” We all LOVED it! I may or may not have almost cried when I woke up the next morning planning to eat the last couple bites as a breakfast appetizer and found, to my horror, that my husband and oldest son had finished it off when they were watching the final minutes of the game.
How could they????? They’re dead to me.
how to make best ever chewy chex mix
- Put cereals, almonds, coconut, and M&Ms in a large bowl and gently mix to combine everything evenly. Set aside.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, melt butter and then quickly add granulated sugar and Karo syrup.
- Stir continuously as the mixture heats and comes to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling, continue stirring and cook for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and pour over cereal mixture. Carefully stir the mixture until everything is coated, being careful not to crush cereal if possible.
- Let cool and ENJOY!!!!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
After 12 years of marriage, I thought I had made it very clear to Sim that you never, NEVER, eat the last bite of any homemade treat without asking me if I want it first.
Is it, or is it not, the worst thing ever to be dreaming about something only to find it has been eaten?! Especially if it is something you rarely make or don’t have any more ingredients for…..
The Waaahm-bu-lance just pulled up, so I’ll stop crying now and give you the recipe.
It’s delicious, Friends, so finding an excuse to make it should be on the top of your priority list this week.
Tips for making Best Ever Chewy Chex Mix
- Make sure to continuously stir the Karo syrup mixture while cooking it. You want all the ingredients to combine and not burn.
- You can use half Rice Chex and half Corn Chex along with the Golden Graham Cereal.
- If you don’t like almonds, chopped pecans would be a good substitute.
- …also, hide a small portion somewhere no one can find–that should be next on your priority list. Just sayin’… 😉
