Crock-Pot Chex Mix

Whip up this popular snack mix in your slow cooker with this easy to make Crock-Pot Chex Mix recipe! Perfect for gift giving at the holidays or snacking anytime!

Crock-Pot Chex Mix

Slow Cooker Chex Mix

One of my families favorite snacks is a good old fashioned Chex Mix party mix. We make is an everyday snack, packaging it up in snack sized Ziplock baggies so that the kids can take it to lunch.

We make it at the holidays and give away containers to friends and family who stop by.

We just make it to munch on on the weekend while we watch movies together as a family.

I also like to set out bowls for guests to snack away on during parties. This Chex Mix is always a huge hit at our annual Super Bowl party!

Classically Chex Mix is baked in the oven. And there is nothing wrong with that! Sometimes I do that too.

3 Reasons To Make Chex Mix In Your Slow Cooker Instead Of Your Oven:

  • No need to heat up the oven – On a hot muggy summer day the last thing you want to do is turn the oven on!
  • Less likely to burn – Because the slow cooker runs at a little lower heat you are less likely to forget that you are cooking your snack mix and burn it. Better for busy or easily distracted folks.
  • Portable – Your slow cooker is portable and can be used anywhere you have a source of electricity to run it. I have made Chex Mix while camping in the RV and I had had the kids make it as a classroom project (every kid brought a little something to add to the mix…it was interesting!).

Chex Mix is also so versatile. You can totally mix it up by adding your own favorite ingredients. Use different cereals (Cheerios, Kix, Life, etc.), use different nuts (or omit them if you are allergic to nuts), add different snack items (Goldfish crackers, Cheez-It crackers, Oyster crackers, pretzel squares or sticks, Wheat Thins). And if you want to have a sweet-salty combination you can add some candy or dried fruit after it is cooked and cooled. M&M’s, raisins, chocolate chips, etc all work great!

Use your imagination and most of all…have fun making your Chex Mix!

Notes

To make clean up easier you may wish to either line your slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or spray with non-stick cooking spray. To personalize this recipe and make it your own, feel free to change up some of the ingredients to use your favorite unsweetened cereals or snack mix ins. Some ideas might be to use Cheerios, Goldfish Crackers, pretzel squares or sticks, wasabi peas, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, honey roasted nuts. The possibilities are endless!

      We don’t have a recipe here for a Chex mix with hot sauce, but you could easily adjust this recipe and add some hot sauce to your mix. Would add a nice spice I would think. I would add maybe 1/4 cup.

    In the oven we never used oil. Used butter mixed with worcestershire. Do you use oil because its being done crockpot.

    We have always used butter when we cooked ours in the oven. Do you need the oil because its being done in the crockpot or could I still use butter?

    I would love to try this, but having a diabetic in the house – means that the 137gr of carbs, and 6gr of SATURATED fat per serving, makes it TOTALLY off the table to even try it! Are the crabs and sat fat REALLY that high?

      Yes Kay, the carbs and sat fat really are that high. Chex cereals are high in carbs and the butter is high in saturated fats. I am not sure how to bring the carbs down because all of the cereals are high in carbs. But you could use another kind of oil I think in this recipe to bring the saturated fat down. Perhaps olive or avocado oil?

        Waaay too much salt. I too am a diabetic, but my vice is salt and the Doc says no to this. Too bad, cause i really love this stuff.

          I am sorry this recipe has too much salt for your medical condition Mike. You might be able to play with the ingredients some to make this a lower sodium version. For example using unsalted cashews and pretzels and replacing some of the seasoned salt with more garlic powder to your taste. Or you could omit the seasoned salt altogether and use something like a combination of garlic powder, onion powder and maybe some paprika.
