What is it about homemade Chex Mix that makes it taste so much better than the prepackaged stuff? Don’t get me wrong , I still buy the prepackaged mixes, but it really is quite easy to make. If you googled Chex Mix you could probably find thousands of recipes for it. My friend Anne shared this Spicy Garlic Chex Mix with us and we all loved it. It’s a great mix to make for football game days or in my case watching back to back shows of Scandal on Netflix. Beware though, this mix will definitely have you reaching into the bowl more than once.
A friend shared this delicious chex mix with our family this summer. We have made it several times since then, and everyone we share it with loves it too. The cayenne pepper in it gives it a nice kick and keeps you grabbing another handful! This would be great for a game day snack. Enjoy! Anne

Ooo, yum. I love all things garlic.
Hope you enjoy it Amber!
I actually started the spicy chez mix recipe from a friend at work. I modified it with the corn pops, but have added chez -its, or crunchy Cheetos too. Love how this recipe has spread as the high schoolers all love it. Still been wanting the recipe from your party last year with the cilantro and some other funky ingredient.
Thanks for sharing Kim! I know Liz said she got the recipe from Freddie (I believe). When a recipe makes the rounds that’s always a sure sign that it’s good. I love crunchy Cheetos so I’ll have to add that. Feel free to email me any crowd pleasing recipes you’d like to share and I will try them out.
Anne gave us a sample a few months ago and Alex LOVED it! I pinned your receipe so I can now make it too.
