My Microwavable Version of Chex Party Mix image

I am addicted to this stuff! It's so much quicker to make in the microwave. And the kitchen doesn't get heated up if you're making it in the summer. I use store brand corn, rice and wheat squares instead of the Chex brand. Just as good, and a lot less expensive.

Tips

- Always use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. - If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and salt. - Be careful not to overcook the Chex Mix, or it will become hard and crunchy. - If you want a spicier Chex Mix, add more taco seasoning or a few drops of hot sauce. - For a more flavorful Chex Mix, use a variety of different cereals, such as Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, and Rice Chex. - If you don't have a microwave, you can make this recipe in the oven. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the Chex Mix for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. ###
