Parmesan Garlic Chex Mix Ingredients
- Chex cereal – We like corn Chex for this recipe.
- Goldfish crackers – Classic cheese flavor.
- Pretzels – Mini pretzel twists.
- Cheez-it crackers – Classic original flavor.
- Butter – Salted butter, melted.
- Worcestershire sauce – Does anyone spell that right their first try?
- Seasoned salt – We are partial to Lawry’s.
- Garlic powder – Not garlic salt!
- Onion powder – Not onion salt!
- Parmesan cheese – The powdered kind found in the green plastic cylinder, usually near the spaghetti sauce.
How do you make parmesan garlic party mix? (step by step)
⭐ First, in a large bowl combine the cereal, goldfish, pretzels and cheese crackers. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic powder and onion powder together.
⭐ Then, pour the seasoning mix over the cereal mixture and stir gently until evenly coated. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and stir to coat again.
⭐ Next, spread out the Chex mix on a large baking sheet in a thin even layer. Bake, stirring frequently, until toasted and golden.
⭐ Finally, allow the snack mix to cool and store in an air tight container until ready to enjoy.
Preparation
Can you make parmesan garlic chex mix ahead of time?
Absolutely! Make up to three days before your party and store in a cool dry place in a sealed, airtight container.
What else can you add to cheesy chex party mix?
Try adding your favorite nuts, rye bread chips, bagel chips, cheetos, croutons, or even different types of cereal.
Storage and leftovers
How long does parmesan chex snack mix last?
The snack mix is best if enjoyed within three days of preparing. That said, if stored in an air tight container in a cool dry place at room temperature, the chex mix will keep for up to 2 weeks.
How do you refresh stale garlic parmesan chex mix?
If the snack mix has started to go stale, you can spread it out on your baking sheet and heat it in the oven for 5 – 10 minutes at 325 degrees.
This will crisp it back up. Watch closely to make sure it doesn’t toast too much.
