Recipe FAQ
Store the sweet Chex mix in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
This Chex mix is always a hit with any crowd I’ve shared it with! So easy to make and it makes a ton too!
Do you have to leave it out to dry? Just imaging it all clumping up in a bowl.
I like to let it cool down and set by lining a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Just spread the mix evenly over the pan. And then once it’s cooled and set, you can break it up and put it in a bowl or an air-tight container to store.
This is our very favorite recipe of Lil luna! Watch out you will want to eat it all.
Thank you!! It is dangerously delicious, isn’t it? 🙂

Just made this for a party and it got devoured! I’ve heard it called Chex mix crack, which yes, it’s very addicting 😳 Great recipe!
This is so good, addictive actually! Easy to make and goes so far. Haven’t made it for years but, made this the other day and it didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend.
This stuff is so good and addicting and great to give to neighbors around the holidays!
I love this recipe. Luckily Chex is on sale and this recipe makes a lot. I trust and love all of Lil’ Luna’s recipes. It started with her Snickerdoodle recipe, then her chocolate chip recipe, and after that I just love everything she puts out there. And this one is just as great. Enjoy!
