Classic + Simple Chex Mix
Does a food memory come alive when you see this Chex Mix?
So many people think of their Grandmother or a special holiday moment. This Chex Mix brings it all back. It’s gluten free, healthier (even with butter), simple pantry seasonings and takes less than 20 minutes to make.
The ingredients list is short.
It’s crunchy, smoky, salty and has all the textures that a snack should have. And with few ingredients. Bonus.
I used Gluten Free Chex Cereal. A combination of the Rice and Corn boxes. Gluten Free Pretzel Sticks and roasted peanuts.
In order to keep it truly gluten free, you have to use this brand of Worcestershire sauce. It’s the only gluten free version. I found mine at Vitamin Cottage/Natural Grocers.
Onion, garlic, horseradish and powder. salted butter and dried thyme. A few pinches of black pepper, if you want.
Snack mix for everyone.
I love having a bowl full of this when guests come over. Nothing like a bowl of salty goodness to snack on during the holidays.

I was amazed at your comment about the only Worcester sauce that is gluten free. I don’t have celiac disease but am just run of the mill intolerant to gluten. Very intolerant though. I have never reacted to it however, I don’t think. Thanks for the heads up!
You are welcome. I’m constantly amazed at how many products have gluten in them…hidden so well sometimes!
