My mom made the traditional Chex Party Mix every year at Christmas time. Of all the dishes she made for the holidays; her party mix was my absolute favorite.

There was something about all the smells of the different cereals and snacks coming together to create something magical. I remember losing a baby tooth eating it when I was five. That didn’t slow me down at all.

When I was out on my own, I started making it for friends. I changed up the ingredients to make it my own, and to this day, it is still my favorite thing I make.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups popcorn, popped (I use store-bought in a bag)
  • 2 cups crisp rice-and-corn cereal (I use Crispix)
  • 1 1/2 cups salted sesame sticks
  • 1 1/2 cups pretzel (sticks, squares, or pieces)
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.

  2. In a large bowl add popcorn, cereal, sesame sticks, and pretzels; toss well.

  3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; whisk in the garlic powder, mustard powder, sugar, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pour the butter mixture over the snack mix and toss well to coat.

  4. Spread the snack mix in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake, gently stirring halfway through, until the popcorn is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool. Transfer to a large bowl, add the cheese balls and toss to coat.
