    If you think there is only one type of Chex mix, you are so very wrong. Here are our top 10 fave Chex Mix recipes:

    1. Lemonade Chex Mix

    This recipe is light, crunchy, sweet and buttery all at the same time. Oh, and did we mention it includes zesty lemonade mix for a bright, citrusy kick? For a tasty juxtaposition of flavors, serve it alongside a savory or spicy mix like…

    2. Sriracha Chex Mix

    This nutty, Asian party mix complements the flavors of this recipe quite nicely. Hot sriracha – which is a type of hot sauce – is mellowed out a bit by butter, garlic, ginger and soy. Also, this one has crunchy chow mein noodles, peanuts and wasabi peas, which make it a hearty mix.

    3. Rainbow Chex Mix

    4. Summer Herb Chex Mix

    6. Deviled Chex Mix

    Spice-haters need not apply here. This recipe is laced with paprika, chili powder, cumin, coriander and pepper for a mix that's anything but bo-ring. Plus, it's much better suited for a party than deviled eggs, 'cause it won't get all smelly and gross after 30 minutes.

    7. Salt and Vinegar Chex Mix

    Cheerio, love! This decidedly British party snack includes salt-and-vinegar potato chips and Worcestershire sauce for a tangy, savory, salty blend. Serve it up with a nice Pimm's and soda, sit back, keep calm and carry on.
