Classic Chex Party Mix #SundaySupper

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to give you a small update and let you know I am feeling so much better.  My cold lasted 2 weeks and the only thing that remains is the cough. The cough is getting less and less each passing day, but it is still slightly there.  I want to thank you for your kind words that you sent me.  That means a lot to me.

Now onto today’s recipe!  Today for #SundaySupper we had to share with you a retro recipe.  When I think retro I automatically think the 70’s.  But actually I was listening to the classic rock station and they were playing 80’s music.  Eck!  Now I feel old!  Anyway, I googled retro recipes and one recipe that kept standing out was Chex Party Mix.  It seems that in the 70’s it was a must have at all the parties.  Then I did a little homework and I found out that Chex Party Mix recipe actually came out in 1952.  Now that’s retro!  A little history here, but the recipe for Chex Party Mix made it to cereal boxes in 1985.  If you now check out the cereal boxes, they have a ton of different Chex Mix recipes from Corn Bread Chex Mix to Cherry Malt Chocolate Chex Mix.  Boy there are a ton of different ways to make your Chex Mix.  But today I did it the old fashion way, just like they did in the 50’s, except I did use the microwave to melt the butter. Hey, I had to cheat somewhere.  But the rest of the recipe is the same.  So here is my recipe for Classic Chex Party Mix.

The Classic Chex Mix is crunchy, salty and it kind of reminds me of a slight Asian flavor. I think that is from the Worcestershire sauce? None of the flavors are overwhelming, but they all go together beautifully. This is an addicting snack, so be warned if you make it. I couldn’t keep my fingers out of the container. In general for a party snack I think it is pretty healthy. The recipe makes 12 cups and each serving is only 125 calories. Like I said, the only problem is sticking to one serving size. I could sit here and eat the whole recipe. Matter in fact I have a little bowl of it sitting next to me right now.

Chex Party Mix is made with simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store. Matter in fact I bought everything I needed at Target. The Chex Mix is made with Corn, Rice and Wheat Chex cereal, mixed nuts, pretzels and garlic flavored bagel crisps. The flavor comes from the butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and onion powder with a little bit of seasoned salt. It’s really a simple fun recipe to make. I bet the kids would love to help make it with you too!  The sinful side of me says to add some chocolate chips when it’s cooled to make it sweet and salty, but I didn’t tell you that.
