Microwave Chex Party Mix

Microwave Chex Party Mix

Microwave Chex Party Mix

My friend was talking about making Chex Mix and the next thing I knew, I was tearing up my pantry looking for ingredients. That’s the story of my life, especially when I am pregnant if someone mentions some kind of food and it sounds good to me, I just can’t get it out of my mind until I eat some myself.

I found a recipe for the Original Chex Party Mix and decided to give it a go. I was missing a few ingredients, but made do with what I had and it turned out great. I especially like the flavor of the added Cheerios.

This recipe taste almost exactly like the store bought Original Chex Mix. It is so simple to make and is a great snack for movie night or to take on family car trips. Bagel chips or gold fish crackers would be fun add-ins. Makes approx. 10 (1 cup) servings

I still can’t get over how easy this was to make. It was delicious and is a fun switch up from the regular popcorn for movie night snacking.

Enjoy!

Keep it Real!!!
