During the holidays we all need a few simple recipes to fall back on to make entertaining friends and family just a little easier. This Christmas Chex Mix Recipe is one of my favorites. It is perfect for holiday parties or sharing with family and friends, and it takes less than 15 minutes to make! This is an easy recipe we like for our Sunday Supper Buffet Menu Ideas.
If you’ve never made Chex Mix it is a combination of all sorts of delicious snacks including Chex cereal. You can add in mini pretzels, mixed nuts, dried fruit, candies, mini toasts, or pretty much anything you think would taste amazing in a snack mix. Then you coat it in butter and seasoning. I chose cinnamon sugar for my Christmas Chex Mix recipe because I think cinnamon is such a warm, cozy, spice for the winter holidays.
Since this is a Christmas Chex Mix recipe I also add some Christmas colors to my Chex Mix recipe. I use store bought white chocolate covered pretzels and drizzle them with melted green candy melts and melted red candy melts leaving them out to dry until the colored drizzles harden. Once they are ready and my cinnamon sugar Chex Mix has cooled I toss the red and green white chocolate covered pretzels and some red and green chocolate chips into the mix and it is ready to go.
