Try my Chex Mix In The Crock Pot for an easy snack you can make ahead!
Coming up with something to bring to a summer BBQ get together, a Christmas party or a Church potluck can sometimes be difficult. I usually do not have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen so the easier the recipe, the better! I am always trying to come up with a way to make just about anything in the Crock-Pot because it is just so convenient and does not take up too much of my time (all you busy moms out there know what I’m talking about!). So, I decided to take the general recipe from the Chex Mix website and formulate it to be made in the crock pot!
I hope you will remember this recipe next time you are in a crunch (get it?!?! haha!) and need need something yummy and easy to take to a party! This Chex Mix is full of flavor and crunch and is great for any occasion!

Very interesting. I never would have thought about doing this.
Making Chex Mix in the microwave is even faster. (I don’t put candy in mine). Cook at high power, stirring after 2 minutes, twice and again at the end. Total cook time 6 minutes. Cool on paper towels.
I make 20 or more single batches every holiday season, so the time involved is important to me. My family says it doesn’t taste any different than when I use to spend hours baking in the oven
Great idea! Thanks for sharing Selene!
