Did You Know?
The Chex party mix tradition goes back to the early 1950’s when the wife of a Ralston Purina executive served the snack at a holiday event in St. Louis. Making Chex mix has almost become a hobby unto itself since then, with huge variety of flavors to be found (and eaten!).

WE MADE THREE RECIPIES. WANT TO TRY?

CEREAL KILLER

CEREALS
2 full boxes of Corn Chex
2 full boxes of Rice Chex
2 full boxes of Life Cereal
2 large bags of pretzel sticks
8 pounds of raw cashews

WET INGREDIENTS
6 sticks of melted butter
1 bottle Worcestershire
1/2 bottle Soy Sauce
1/2 bottle Cholula Hot Sauce

DRY INGREDIENTS
Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
Old Bay
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder

INSTRUCTIONS
Once the cereals were mixed together, I added the wet ingredients separately from the dry spices, trying to get as much of an even coverage as possible. The mix was smoked in batches over applewood chips for an hour, then finished in the oven.

The cashews were smoked separately, then finished roasting in the oven with a little butter and the dry mix. They were added at the end.
