The best part of football season is definitely the food. It’s the only time of year when a meal out of buffalo chicken dip, bacon wrapped cheesy stuffed jalapeños, and football shaped cookies makes sense. Throw slow cooker chicken chili in there too. A few other favorite game day snacks? Homemade cheese crackers, seasoned pretzels, candied nuts, jalapeño cheddar soft pretzels, and pizza pull apart rolls! Football season, you’re glorious.
Tell Me About this Sweet & Spicy Honey Chex Mix
Flavor: An abundance of bold flavors are what sets this homemade recipe apart from store bought Chex mix. For mega flavor, remember this—a great mix begins with an even better sauce. Butter, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and hot sauce make up the base to which we add plenty of spices. Texture: You’ll love how crispy and crunchy this snack mix gets after it’s baked and cooled. Ease: A little mixing, a little stirring…this is an easy snack with a big payoff. Time: It just takes a few minutes to mix up the sauce and then it’s all baked until the sauce seeps into every last crispy and flavorful square.
Can I Mix Things Up?
Of course! Don’t like nuts? Leave them out. Want more of that extra crunchy wheat Chex? Mix in with a heavy hand. Making seasoned pretzels for the same party? Maybe go easy on the pretzels in this recipe. This chex mix allows for all kinds of combinations and that’s the beauty of it.
How Spicy is This Homemade Chex Mix?
Medium spicy. The hot sauce in the wet ingredients gives the Chex mix its little kick, but if you like really really spicy, add more chili powder after the Chex mix comes out of the oven. It’s easy to customize the spices to your taste buds. Regardless of your spice preference, you’ll love this homemade Chex mix. While Chex mix is the perfect game day snack, I certainly don’t limit it to that time of year! I love whipping up a batch to snack on while decorating sugar cookies during the holidays. A bowl of this is a must for any cookie decorating party, too!
