Parmesan Italian Chex Mix 2

When attending parties or a get together, the conversations usually are centered around the snacks! I have had so many great conversations while munching away on the appetizers. One easy snack to make is Chex Mix. Did you know that there are tons of different recipes for Chex Mix? From sweet to salty, there are so many easy recipes to make. I branched out from the traditional Chex Mix last weekend and made Parmesan Italian Chex Mix and Sugar Cookie Chex Mix. Both were a huge hit.

chex mix ingredients

For the Parmesan Italian Chex Mix I used a combination of Corn and Rice Chex Cereal, mini pretzels and cheese crackers. I followed the recipe for  Cheesy Ranch Chex™ Mix but changed the Ranch Dressing Mix to Italian Dressing Mix. I had intended to make the Ranch version, but I forgot the ranch dressing mix at the store. I improvised with what I had and it turned out fabulous!

Chex Mix is super simple to make. Combine the cereal, pretzels and cheese crackers. Melt the butter and pour over top of the cereal mix. Mix in the Italian Dressing mix and the Parmesan cheese. Then you microwave the mixture for about three minutes. Let it cool on a baking sheet and then serve!

This recipe makes  a huge batch. We brought some to a party and then had enough for snacks during the week.
