We’ll concentrate on recipes with Chex mix cereal. There are of course many ways to start a snack mix but today we’ll concentrate on the American standard. Rice and corn Chex cereal are gluten-free and make a great option if you know someone with allergies. And no, I’m not sponsored by Chex.

It’s a seaweed and sesame rice seasoning. Apparently, it’s very popular to add to Chex mix in Hawaii. And yes, this is a sweet mix with a little bit of spice.

19- If following a recipe is not your style, hop on over to Food 52 where they teach you how to Make Snack Mix Without a Recipe, Savory or Sweet and give you the freedom to create your own.
You can also go check out the Chex website for some of their own recipes. But I think it’s more fun to see what regular folks have come up with. I love to see all the variations and creativity.
