ORIGINAL 1956 CHEX PARTY MIX
Did you know that Chex Party Mix developed with the introduction of TV watching into daily life? It was a snack that could be eaten without interrupting a TV show! This recipe came off the back of a cereal box, probably around 1956. It is way different than many of the recipes you find on line today.

ORIGINAL CHEX MIX
I know everyone has this recipe but I am posting it to put in a cookbook I am making of my Mom's recipes. I believe this is the original recipe from the back of Chex Cereal back in the 1960's. But it is hard to tell from Mom's recipes. She added and changed things over the years. But this is the version of the recipe she used.
