Chex mix is such a classic holiday snack but now I have made it gluten-free! It makes the best snack and is loaded with bold flavours and crunch.

Head to my Instagram page and you can watch it there.
This gluten-free recipe is a favorite because you can easily make it ahead, weeks before the holidays. I do not know anyone who doesn’t find themselves crazy busy the last few weeks before Christmas. Having gluten-free recipes you can make 3-4 weeks before the holidays, will save you time come end of December. It will store 3-4 weeks in an airtight container.
HOW TO MAKE THE CHEX MIX:
- Add dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix well.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Add the butter to a small bowl and melt in microwave.
- Add the chili and garlic powder, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce to butter and stir well.
- Pour sauce over dry cereals and mix well with a spatula.
- Pour mix onto a cookie sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes stirring every 10 minutes.
- Remove and cool and occassionally stir mixture so that it doesn’t cool into clumps.
Ge ready for the most addicting gluten-free snack you have ever had-yes, seriously! Gluten-free spicy Chex mix will be hard for you NOT to eat the entire bowl. It is jam packed with flavour like chili powder, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and garlic powder. It is crispy, crunchy and delicous!
A spicy Chex mix is the perfect blend of flavours and my gluten-free recipe uses ingredients like chili and garlic powder, hot sauce, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, gluten-free rice and honey Chex, gluten-free oat cereal, pretzels, peanuts and pecans.
