Chex Party Mix has been a beloved snack for generations, perfect for game days, movie nights, or any gathering. If you’re looking to make an Original Chex Party Mix Oven Recipe that will impress your family and friends, you’ve come to the right place. This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the process of creating this tasty treat from scratch.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To get started on your Original Chex Party Mix, gather the following ingredients: 3 cups of Rice Chex cereal, 3 cups of Corn Chex cereal, 2 cups of Wheat Chex cereal, 1 cup mixed nuts (your choice), 1 cup pretzel sticks (or any pretzel shape), and 4 tablespoons of butter. You’ll also need Worcestershire sauce (about 2 tablespoons) and seasonings such as garlic powder and onion powder to taste.
Preparing Your Oven and Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). This low temperature is crucial as it allows the mix to bake evenly without burning. While the oven heats up, prepare a large baking dish or roasting pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier later.
Mixing Ingredients Together
In a large bowl, combine all the cereals together with mixed nuts and pretzel sticks. In a separate small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove until fully liquefied. Add Worcestershire sauce along with garlic powder and onion powder to the melted butter; stir well until combined. Pour this mixture over your dry ingredients in the larger bowl.
Baking Your Chex Party Mix
Once everything is coated evenly in butter and seasoning mixture, spread it out onto your prepared baking dish evenly. Bake in your preheated oven for about one hour total—stirring every 15 minutes so that all parts cook evenly. The goal is for each piece to be crispy without getting burnt.
Cooling Down & Serving Suggestions
After an hour has passed, remove your Chex Party Mix from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature in its baking dish. Once cooled down fully (this helps maintain its crunch.), transfer it into an airtight container for storage or serve immediately in bowls at parties or gatherings.
Congratulations. You’ve successfully made an Original Chex Party Mix using this easy oven recipe. It’s perfect for sharing during social events or simply enjoying while relaxing at home. Feel free to customize the mix with additional ingredients like chocolate chips or different nuts according to taste preferences.
