    Most people like Chex Mixes, so they’re a good option to include at a casual get-together or party

  10. Susan D says

    If you have friends who need gluten-free options, I like how you can make a Chex Mix that they can eat

  22. Rosey says

    I love that it’s an easy snack my toddler and husband both love. We take a bag on trips every time, and we keep a bag in the snack cabinet too.

  23. Lisa G. says

    I would love to try the recipe on the Chex website for the Chex Chocolate Malt-Cherry Mix. Sounds wonderful!

    Thanks for the giveaway…we like that the basic “Chex Mix Recipe” printed on the box can be adapted to different tastes i.e. kids, adults.

  36. Mari says

    What I like about chex mix is it’s versatility. I can serve it plain, out of the bag, or create a sweet mix by adding chocolate.

  41. Charity S. says

    I love that Chex Party Mix is a hit with everyone. I made some for work, and it was gone in a couple of seconds.

  50. Jean D. says

    I love it that you can buy Chex Party Mix already prepared. For real: I have three bags of it wrapped under the Christmas tree for my kids to open. It’ll be a sure hit.

    Thanks for a great giveaway!

  57. Selene says

    I use the original Chex Mix recipe and then add more seasonings, margarine and worchestershire because we like it a little more flavorful. It’s always a crowd pleaser.

  63. barbara wright says

    When my daughter was small, she asked me if we could buy jail cereal. I had no idea what that was, so I took her to a store and asked her to show me which one it was. It wasn’t there. Months went by and I forgot about it, but then I made my semi-annual Chex mix for Thanksgiving and she got all excited that I found the “jail cereal”. I guess the Chex cereal reminded her of jails 🙂 That’s why I love Chex mix – it reminds me of her.

  66. ky2here says

    WE make a reindeer crunch with Chex Mix. It’s kind of hokey – just regular chex mix with melted butter and powdered sugar, macadamia nuts and some crushed peppermint sticks.

    Yummy though.

  67. april zimmerman says

    I make 1 recipe of Chex mix but double the amount of mixed nuts, add double pnuts, and a jar of cashews. This mixture is doused with triple the amount of butter/seasonings. Makes enough for an army but there’s never leftovers.

  87. rebecca says

    We butter a casserole dish, add chex, mini marshmallows, and mini chocolate chips and put in the oven until melted. It makes for a gooey but good treat.

  89. Joseph says

    I love that the Chex party mix is easy to make and that anyone can make it for any occasion or holiday.

  93. heatherzilla says

    I like the Hot and Spicy Chex® Party Mix recipe. I like that chex mix is a healthy snack. Because chex mix is so flavorful, I notice that I don’t have to eat as much to feel satisfied, as compared to chips.

  94. Katie S. says

    I love chex mix beacause its so easy to make and everyone loves it too. Its better than a bag of chips just laying there, its an excuse to use a fancy bowl and fill it with tasty yumyums.

  100. Mir says

    A friend of mine makes the most amazing mix using chex and a few other snacks. It is THE BEST I have ever had and always look forward to getting a bag of it but can’t get the recipe out of her!

  101. charline says

    What I love about chex party mix is you can fix it how ever you want add raisins, m&ms,peppermint just whatever strikes your fancy.

  107. Erin E says

    I love to serve the Original Chex Party Mix during the holidays because everyone loves it. Thank you for the lovely giveaway.

  110. Ceinwyn R says

    I love the variety of Chex party mix! With many snack the fun and flavor fade after a few pieces but with Chex mix there’s always something new.

  120. Debbie C says

    I saw a recipe for Chex called PB & Chocolate Blast. I would love to try that.

    dchrisg3[at]gmail[dot]com

  126. wcc says

    What I like about Chex Party Mix is how you can really make it your own by easily adding your own ingredients to make it stand out even more! Thanks so much for the chance! 🙂

  128. Kristen says

    I like the pre-made Chex Mix in the Bold Party flavor. It’s crunchy and tasty, but has less fat than chips.

  134. D Johnson says

    I love to make Chex Mix with my son. We always have a great time making it and then eating it lol. Plus, I love the smell with the worcestershire! It’s just good memories and good snacking.

  145. Cynthia C says

    I like to make Chex Mix as a treat for the holidays because it’s relatively inexpensive and healthier than many other snacks.

  149. Amanda Davis says

    I have loved “Puppy Chow” since I was a kid (I believe it’s also called “Muddy Buddies”) as well as the more savory Chex Mix snacks. You can’t go wrong with them! Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  152. Jennifer Short says

    My grandmother used to make a Chex recipe called “Texas Trash” and she’d even mix it in a trash bag! (Which I wouldn’t recommend because some are treated with pesticides!)

  160. Suzanne K says

    I like that you can make your own Chex Mix and make it healthier than lots of the snacks sold today. I like to add raisins for my sweet – almost going trail mix with it.

  161. Lynda E. says

    We love to make our own Chex Mix – the original is still the best. However, no one ever eats the pretzels, so I use oyster crackers instead.

  163. Nancy Meyer says

    I like to make the Chex Muddy Buddies recipe! It’s easy and kids (and grown-ups too!) love it!

    nancymeyer1 at gmail dot com

  167. jennifer b says

    I love that it’s semi healthy way better than chips and it’s so yummy. I when they have gold fish crackers in the mix

  170. Sharon Harmon says

    I love the variety of goodies in Chex Mix! It also gets rid of salt cravings but yet it is not too salty! 😉

  186. DebbyM says

    I make the traditional style chex mix (but a little spicier since my family likes spicy foods) and then I make a sweet mix with chex cereal, pretzels, peanuts, raisins and sometimes M&M’s and then drizzle white chocolate all over it and spread it on a cookie sheet. When it “dries” you break it up. Yummy. I have to make tons of this at Christmas time!

    Thanks for the great giveaway!
    Happy Holidays!

  191. Jessica says

    I love that Chex Mix is so portable and easy to clean up. It’s great for diaper bags and as a snack for the car:)

  195. Alicia Webster says

    What I love about Chex Mix is that it reminds me of my youth and football. My mom started making Chex Mix in the early 80’s and would make it every weekend during football season. All the men in the neighborhood would congregate at our house! I would love to make the recipe for Cheesy Ranch Chex Mix that I have never tried.

  200. Cara Kirkland says

    I love Chex Mix bacause it’s a great snack that you can never get tired off because you can always change it up & have a completely different tasty snack.

  220. Tiffany Markey says

    Chex mix is the perfect school snack for my students. When they are low on energy, I pass out the Chex mix snacks that I have already added peanut butter and raisins to form little brain booster clusters. This is the way my students enjoy Chex mix….
