This is a good starting point to allow experimentation. I only use the ingredients for the mix that I like so that cuts down on waste and then the seasoning with the exception of the butter are all doubled atleast. It really depends on your taste. I also add some hot sauce to spice it up a bit more.

Recipe is alright but I think it ends up with a much better flavor if it's cooked in the oven. 250 deg. for 1 hour.

Way too much butter! All I could taste was the butter and it made me sick.

This one gets five stars for two reasons: 1- it is a classic recipe, and 2- I now have microwave directions to make it! It took forever to make in the oven and I'm glad to see that there is a microwave recipe cause it is so much quicker!

Very good. I used the baking method, I just don't see how this could turn out well in a microwave. It's not the one i remember from childhood, but close.

a holiday staple at my house. I use a little more butter, garlic powder, and worstchester than the recipe calls for, along with about one Tbs. steak sauce like A-1 for a little zing.

This is just ok, something to munch on if desperate. I even doubled the dry ingredients. Not sure why it got such great reviews but I probably won't use this recipe again.

A classic! You can't go wrong. We have some family members with nut allergies, so I sub Cheerios for the nuts - it is a great addition.

Great recipe. Makes a large amount. Great snack to have around when watching football! I prefer the oven-roasted recipe. Oven directions: Heat oven to 250°F. In large bowl, mix cereals, nuts, pretzels and bagel chips; set aside. In ungreased large roasting pan, melt butter in oven. Stir in seasonings. Gradually stir in cereal mixture until evenly coated. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool, about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container.

I've always been a fan of the Chex Mix that comes straight off the shelf, and decided to give this mix a try. After following a tweaked recipe where I increased the spices and changed a few ingredients (honey-roasted peanuts, flavored pita chips rather than bagel chips) it has become a milder version of the store-bought Chex Mix. This can definitely be remedied by increasing the amount of seasonings even more, but I've liked the cutback from adding too much flavor to the party mix. This nice and easy recipe gave me just the perfect base for a party mix that I needed, which is not too overwhelming in flavor and still great to snack on.

I made the half recipe that I found on the Chex website. However, I don't like the pretzels or bagel chips, so I used Cheerios cereal to replace the bagel chips and pretzels. It seems that it could use more butter and seasoning mixture. Mine turned out not well enough coated and I had to add more butter and of the Worcestershire sauce.

I made this for the first time with my kids and we loved it! I did use the oven method, baking at 250 degrees for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes. I also doubled the dry seasonings. I used corn and rice chex, roasted peanuts and small pretzels. It's great because you can put really just about anything in it that you want!! I think this is the start of a new holiday tradition for us!

Yum! 5 stars when you bake it instead of microwave it - I added some Creole Seasoning with the butter and other seasonings, tossed it all and baked it in the oven at 350 for about 20 min tossing it every 5 or so minutes. Nice and crisy and very tasty!
