This Slow Cooker Chex Mix is a staple at our house this time of year. This is SO easy to make and it is always a crowd favorite. It is perfect for snacking, holiday parties, and homemade gifts. Now, this isn’t just any Chex Mix recipe. This is my secret recipe! The secret? I add extra butter and seasonings to the mix. I mean, how can you go wrong with extra butter? Especially at the holidays! Salty, crunchy, savory and so dang good!
How to Make Chex Mix in the Slow Cooker
This snack mix is super easy to make. Combine cereal, pretzels, goldfish, cheez-its, pecans, redskin peanuts, and cashews in a crockpot. Combine melted butter, garlic, onion, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the cereal mix and cook on LOW, stirring every 30 minutes. Pour the mix onto parchment paper and let cook before storing in an air-tight container.
- You can customize this snack mix to your personal preferences with any flavor of cereal, crackers, and nuts. Sometimes I add in some bagel chips, oyster crackers toasted corn, or cheerios. You can use anything you like!
- Want to kick this up a notch? Add some hot sauce to the butter mixture. SO good
- Don’t want to make this in the slow cooker? No problem! You can also make this in the oven. Place the mix a couple of rimmed baking sheets and bake for an hour at 250ºF. Stir the mix every 15 minutes.
