Easy Holiday Chex Mix Recipe

Holiday season and making sweets go hand in hand. There’s cookies and breads to be baked. And candies and trash to pass out. Wait, what? Trash? Well, that’s what this easy holiday Chex mix recipe was called when I lived in Texas. Plus, some people make them hot and spicy, while others, like me, make them sweet and salty.

Originally I used to add mini marshmallows to this. However, they would get stale in no time. Therefore, I cut them out. Moreover, you can swap out the almond bark for white chocolate if you want.

Ingredients for Easy Holiday Chex Mix

  • 24 oz almond bark
  • 7 – 7 1/2 c mini pretzel twists or pretzel sticks (I used pretzels twists)
  • and 5 c each of rice, wheat, and corn Chex cereals
square cereal pieces lying flat on a white surface with chocolate drizzled on them
Drizzle the chocolate on the cereals here prior to adding the pretzels.

Easy Holiday Chex Mix Instructions

  • First, line your counter space with either parchment paper or wax paper.
  • Next, with a measuring cup, pour out each of the 3 cereals evenly mixed over the paper.
  • Then melt some of the chocolate according to the package instructions. And, once melted, drip evenly over the cereal mix. (I used a spoon to do this.)
  • After the first chocolate layer, spread the pretzels evenly. And melt more chocolate to drip over the pretzels.
  • Allow to cool. Then store in an airtight container or enjoy immediately.
