I'm addicted to it! I skip the bagel bites and add in extra nuts. I also bake it in the oven at 250 degrees for 1 hour.

I make this every year, but have strayed from the original by using goldfish, cheezits, and any other small crackers I can think of. It's always good. I still like to bake it in the oven though, instead of using the microwave. I bake it in a 200 degree oven for 45 minutes, turning the mixture over with a spatula every 15 minutes. I have also enjoyed adding 1/2 to 2/3 cup of raisins, or craisins for the final 15 minutes. It doesn't last long around my house.

I always use Cheerios instead of the bagel chips. This recipe is a hit every time.

2 stars for recipe as is. I made two batches to use up all the cereal boxes and the first one was way too bland. I doubled the seasonings of the second batch and it was nearly perfect, though maybe a touch salty. Next time I will add an extra T of W. sauce and maybe 1 t less seasoning salt. Oh, and as so many others suggested, I went the oven route: 250 for 1 hr, stirred every 15 minutes.

I like this recipe but I make mine in the oven and I always substitute cajun seasoning for the seasoned salt ;)

My mother made the real original Chex mix recipe when I was a kid. Instead of butter, it had vegetable oil; no onion powder and garlic salt instead of powder. No bagel chips (they didn't exist) and pretzel stix instead of bite-sized. Equal amounts of peanuts and mixed nuts, also Cheerios and Kix cereals. Baked at 250 degrees for an hour (not microwaved). I think the longer cooking time at a low temp helps to blend the flavors. My family still makes this recipe whenever we get together for special occasions.

My grandmother's recipe is almost identical with two important changes! Add 1-2T of Frank's Red Hot sauce (Grandma put in 1 T Tabasco but that seems too extreme) to the mixture while melting butter. Also 1 teas. celery salt. Don't forget to add Cheerios, equal portions as the Chex Product! Everyone who has tried my recipe says it is the best ever!

i like to take out the pretzels and put cheese nips in, or the flat "everything" pretzels that are minature-you can get those at Trader Joe's.

Tried and true classic but you MUST make it in the oven. 250, stir every 15 minutes. I leave out the nuts and usually the pretzels, and add a cup or two of cheerios (mom always did so I do too). Sometimes I throw in a cup or two of honeycombs too, to give it a little taste of sweet.
