Popcorn has been my go-to snack lately and it was time to change it up a bit. I thought about trying this recipe in the slow cooker, but why? All you do is basically melt some butter in the microwave and mix in the spices. Why on Earth would you ever want to put it in your slow cooker? The chex mix cereal would get soggy I think. This Party Chex Mix takes no time to make at all. Mix everything into a bowl, melt the butter and mix the spices and voila. Instant Party Chex mix. Now, I got to stop myself from eating it all!

Why Choose Party Chex Mix?
Chex Mix has been a beloved snack for decades,known for its crunchy texture and savory flavor. However,traditional recipes can be high in calories,sodium,and unhealthy fats. By opting for a Weight Watchers-friendly version,you can enjoy the same satisfying crunch without the guilt. Plus,it’s a versatile snack that caters to various dietary preferences,ensuring that everyone at your party can enjoy it.
Ingredients Needed
- cup(s) Chex gluten free corn cereal
- 3 cup(s) General Mills Rice Chex®
- 3 cup(s) General Mills Wheat chex®
- 1 cup(s) mixed salted dry roasted nuts
- 6 tablespoon light butter
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 oz Chex Mix seasoning packet
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
How to Make Weight Watchers Chex Mix
- Preheat your ovento 250°F (120°C). This low temperature ensures that the mix crisps up without burning.
- In a large mixing bowl,combine the Rice Chex,pretzels and nuts. Gently toss them together until they are well mixed.
- In a small saucepan,melt the light butter over low heat. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and seasoning packet. Plus the garlic powder,and onion powder.
- Pour the butter mixtureover the dry ingredients,stirring as you go,to ensure even coating.
- Spread the mixtureonto a large baking sheet in a single layer. This helps everything cook evenly.
- Bake for 45 minutes,stirring every 15 minutes to prevent any sticking or uneven cooking.
- Remove from the ovenand let it cool completely before serving. This will enhance the crunchiness of the mix.
Party Chex Mix Variations
- Some other options instead of having all Chex Mix cereal in here is adding pretzels and cheerios. Do 3 cups of Rice Chex,1 cup of Cheerios and 8 oz of mini pretzels or pretzel sticks. The total would be 5 smart points per serving using mini pretzels and only 3 points using pretzel sticks.
- Cheese Its+Oyster Pretzels+Pretzels +Ranch Seasoning Packet
- Rice Chex+Wheat Chex +Pretzels +Peanuts+Cheeze Its+Buffalo Wing Sauce
The base for this recipe is 8 points but if you sub out the peanuts with lower point snack foods and change up the Chex Mix cereal then you can definitely lower the points for this recipe.
