Chex Barbecue Snack Mix
Recipe adapted from Betty Crocker.com
Need something to munch on while grilling in the backyard or a great snack for a video marathon? Mix up some for the Fourth of July.
3 cups Rice Chex cereal
3 cups Corn Chex cereal
1 1/2 cups bite-size pretzel twists
1 1/2 cups bite-size cheese crackers
3/4 cup honey-roasted peanuts
1/2 cup Watkins Gourmet Original Barbecue Sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon Watkins Organic Onion Powder
3/4 teaspoon Watkins Organic Garlic Powder
- In large microwavable bowl, mix cereals, pretzels, crackers and peanuts.
- In medium bowl, mix remaining ingredients until well blended. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
- Microwave uncovered on High 7 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on foil or paper towels to cool, about 15 minutes. Store in airtight container.
Makes 15 1/2 cup servings.
You can vary the flavor by using different barbecue sauce varieties or by trying different nuts in place of the peanuts.
A dash of Watkins Ground Red Pepper (cayenne) or a few drops of red pepper sauce turns this into Spicy Chex Barbecue Snack Mix.
Nice twist on an old favorite.
I’ve tried the sweet version of Chex mix but not a BBQ flavor. Thanks for sharing this idea!
Do you have any 4th of July ideas?
