Sweet and Spicy Chex Mix

December 23, 2016 by Jodie 2 Comments

Sweet and Spicy Chex Mix

This might be my very favorite Chex mix. There are so many different types of these snack mixes these days that it’s hard to put a name to a favorite, but this is it. My husband would argue. He prefers traditional Muddy Buddies, or Puppy Chow with all it’s peanut butter and chocolate goodness. He also has a favorite savory Chex mix, which I will be posting soon. But the combination in this Sweet Spicy Chex Mix is what hits the spot for me. And becomes completely addicting.

I made this at Thanksgiving and my brother insisted on getting the recipe, so here it is brother. Hopefully this is in time for your holiday festivities.

One of the best parts of this mix is you can definitely use whatever ingredients your family enjoys. We always have goldfish around, but you can use another cheesy cracker that you like. Try switching up the type of Chex used. What I’ve given you is what we like best. We’ve tried it a few times, and this is our favorite.

This sweet and spicy chex mix is guaranteed to be a hit at your next gathering for sure. Just be careful because it is definitely easy to get addicted to.

This recipe is modified just slightly from my friend Danelle and you can check it out here.
