Tips
For a spicier Chex Mix, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
If you don't have peanuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as almonds or cashews.
You can also add other mix-ins to your Chex Mix, such as goldfish crackers, Chex Mix Snack Mix, or pretzels.
Store Chex Mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
