Don’t get me wrong. I like the traditional Chex mix. I grew up eating it. The older I get, the less salt I want and the more heat I need. This mix is healthier and perfect. It is a small change from the recipe on the box of Chex cereal.

6 cups Chex cereal – corn, wheat, or mix

1 cup pretzels

1 cup mixed nuts – salted

5 tablespoons sriracha

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon granulated garlic

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a 9×13 baking pan, add butter, sriracha, honey, and garlic. Place in oven until melted. Stir fully. Add cereal, pretzels, and nuts. Mix completely. Bake at 325 for 45 minutes. Stir the mix every 15 minutes. Cool and enjoy.
