Expert Tips

Chex Mix® hit the party scene in 1955 and has been a favorite TV snack mix ever since.

To ease the load of last-minute prep, make the mix up to 2 weeks ahead and store in an airtight container.

For just 2 grams of fat and 90 calories per serving, decrease butter to 3 tablespoons, omit mixed nuts and use fat-free bagel chips.

    @Dawn, its called original chex party mix because it uses the cereal "Original Chex", hence the trade mark sign. But thank you for giving me a good afternoon laugh. This recipe was great, I added a little tabasco sauce to it as well :) thanks!

    It irritates me that this is called Original Chex Party Mix, as it is a misnomer! There were no microwaves when the original recipe came out. There was no such thing as Bagel Bites to purchase. My Grandmother was a bit of a rebel and she included Cheerios in the mix, which I still do today before baking huge batches in the oven, not the microwave.
