This Christmas Chex mix hits all the flavor notes you crave in a sweet snack: crispy, crunchy, sweet, and salty! This will be the most popular munchie at your Christmas party.
It makes great gifts for teachers and neighbors. Just pop it in a cellophane bag and tie it with a bow! It’s really quick to put together and requires no baking. It also is easy to customize to your taste.
If you’re looking for more Holiday treats, I hope you’ll try my easy fudge, crockpot candy, polar bear paws, and Rudolph noses next!
Christmas Chex Mix Ingredients
- Honey Nut Cheerios: I like the extra flavor the Honey Nut version, rather than the plain version, of Cheerios, brings to the mix.
- Cinnamon Crunch: This is my favorite ingredient in the whole mix! The crunchy cinnamon cereal is delish!
- Chex: We use all 3 varieties in the mix.
- Pretzel Sticks: It’s best to snap these in half or they pop off the mix.
- White Chocolate: I like to use the Ghirardelli wafers. Their flavor is significantly better than Candy Melts.
- Vanilla: Adds a nice bit of extra flavor to the chocolate.
- M&M’s: I like the plain M&Ms but you can use the peanut or peanut butter versions.
- Holiday Sprinkle: I like to use the 6-cell variety jar.
