One of my all-time favorite snacks for home TV viewing and parties is the Chex party mix. It’s the perfect treat to make for watching the Super Bowl. All you need are Chex cereal, some nuts, and just a few more ingredients to make this yummy treat.

One thing you’ll probably notice when you look at the ingredients is that this version of Chex Mix is gluten-free. And something I’ve seen is that no one has ever noticed when I bring it to a get-together.

Ingredients

Most recipes for the original Chex mix include corn, rice, and wheat flavored Chex cereals. Since the only one containing gluten is the wheat, I leave out the wheat variety as I mentioned earlier.

When you add more Corn Chex and Rice Chex, no one will know the difference.

I used to have to leave out the pretzels, until the Glutino food company started making gluten-free pretzel rods. I’ve tried other brands in the past couple of years–all of them good.

Because of this, I can have the full party mix experience. I’ve seen gluten-free twisted pretzels, but they’re not always available.

Other Ingredients to Try

The other ingredients in the mix are typically gluten-free. Butter doesn’t have gluten, and I purchase Worcestershire sauce that doesn’t have gluten. If you’re not sure, email or call the company to find out.

You can use whatever type of nuts you prefer, including mixed nuts. However, as a southern girl whose parents and grandparents had pecan trees in the yard that was the most natural nut for me to use. Unfortunately, we don’t have pecan trees, so I have to buy them.

I add seasoned salt to bring out the flavor of all the ingredients. Even more important to my taste buds, I add cayenne pepper to give it a little extra zing. It’ll make you thirsty, but it’s always a good idea to drink more water anyway. So go for it!

Perfect for All Special Occasions

Make more than you need so you’ll have plenty to serve guests when they pop over for a visit.

You’ll also enjoy this sweet and salty snack mix that adds another layer of deliciousness. Another delightful treat is this slow cooker ranch nut recipe for a blend of nutty flavor and seasonings.

Whether you’re hosting a New Year’s party at home or you’re going to a friend’s house for the Super Bowl, double this Chex party mix recipe and bring it to share with everyone.

More Delicious Snacks

Other delicious snack foods I like to bring to parties are these delicious roasted pecans and this tasty Greek yogurt onion dip with chips.

These spicy hot fire crackers with plain yogurt for dipping and this tasty spinach dip with crackers or bread are also delicious.

If you still have room on the snack table, you’ll also want to add these yummy rotisserie chicken nachos.

You’ll also want to make a delicious cheese ball and bring some crackers. Another delicious party food is this super easy basic cheese ball. Feel free to add any other ingredients to make it your own.
