Buffalo Chex Mix

May 11, 2014 by Kay 1 Comment

Buffalo Chex Mix is for the people who like a little kick in their mix!

My husband, Mr. B loves Chex Mix, pretty much anything salty and crunchy. When I asked him if he would like Buffalo Chex Mix his eyes lit up with a big YES! He is a fan of anything with buffalo sauce on it.

Mr. B’s mother, Lorna is the master at the Original Chex Mix. There is no way I could even come close to making it the way she does, so I thought it would be better to come up with a different flavor Chex Mix. Thus, Buffalo Chex Mix was born.

This recipe for Buffalo Chex Mix has the most obvious ingredients of Chex Cereal, pretzels and nuts; the not so obvious ingredient is pita chips. They add another level of crunch to the mix. Baking it at a low temperature for a long period of time gives the sauce a chance to seep into the ingredients.

Enjoy!

Buffalo Chex Mix

Ingredients

4 Cups Corn Chex
3 Cups Rice Ches
3 Cups Pretzels
2 Cups Seal Salt Pita Chips, I used Keebler
1 cup cashews
1 cup pecans
1 ½ sticks of butter
¾ cup hot sauce, I used Frank’s
1 ½ tsp. Cajun seasoning

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, pretzels, pita chips, cashews and pecans. Mix to combine and set aside.
In a small sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the hot sauce and Cajun seasoning. Whisk until butter is melted, then pour over the mix. Stir to combine.
Top two baking sheets with foil and spray with cooking spray. Divide the mix evenly between the two baking sheets.
Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. When done baking, let the mix set in a cool place for 30 minutes. Store in an air tight container.

Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels

Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels are made in the microwave but taste like you baked them in the oven for hours!

I am always looking for a way to “dress up” pretzels and this recipe is one of my favorites. I love sweet and salty and this recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels covers both.

You start by combining cinnamon, sugar and canola oil, pour this over the pretzels and heat them up in the microwave so the sauce can melt into the pretzels.

This is a great snack for young and old, for any day snack or for a pot luck or get together. I warn you, you can’t eat just one! You might find yourself eating them all in one sitting, but that’s OK!

Enjoy!

Reindeer Chow

December 11, 2013 by Kay Leave a Comment

It’s Day 3 of The Twelve Days of Christmas and today’s recipe is Reindeer Chow. I love the name of this snack, I think kid’s will get a kick out of it. Pair this treat with a cup of hot chocolate!

This snack is filled with M&M’s, pretzels, Rice Chex, Cheerios and peanuts. On top of all of that is white chocolate and colorful cookie decorations. I truly enjoy pretzels dipped in white chocolate and you can find me making some kind of candy/snack with this combination in my kitchen at Christmas time.

Reindeer Chow

Ingredients

3 cups Rice Chex cereal

2 cups red & green M&Ms
½ cup cookie decorations, I used green jimmies with red berries
20 ounces white chocolate
3½ tablespoons solid coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Instructions

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper; set aside.
In a very large bowl, mix together the Rice Chex, Cheerios, peanuts, pretzels and M&Ms.
In a saucepan, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil over low heat until melted, continually stir once it starts to melt.
Pour the melted chocolate over the dry ingredients and quickly toss together using two large spoons until everything is pretty evenly coated in the white chocolate. Spread the mixture out on the prepared pan and refrigerate until it's set, about 20 minutes. Break up any chunks and store in tins or airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
