Homemade Chex Mix Recipe

One of our Holiday traditions is for my hubby to make Chex Mix each year – and it's so yummy I just had to share this homemade Chex Mix recipe with you!  (If you're looking for a sweet chex mix recipe – head over here to check out how to make Chex Mix Muddy Buddies!)

My husband and son schedule a night each year to make this recipe, and believe me, it takes both of them to do the work!  It's not difficult, just a little time consuming, and you need a L-A-R-G-E bowl to mix all the ingredients in.  If you love making Chex Mix in your home too, this is definitely the week to stock up on most of your ingredients.

This recipe makes a lot. It's a great snack to have around during the holidays if you have family and friends coming to visit, or just to add to your snack pantry!  Here's what you'll need . . .
