WATKINS CHEX MAPLE PARTY MIX



Watkins Chex Maple Party Mix image

I first tasted this sweet, different version of Chex mix at a Watkins home-demo party. Almost everyone went home from the party with a copy of this recipe. The maple flavor extract is the secret ingredient. Plan ahead - once cooked, this will need to cool before serving.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted (1 stick)
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons maple extract
8 cups Chex cereal (any flavor - they used a mixture of corn, rice, and wheat flavor)
1 cup mixed chopped nuts, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter or margarine in a large microwavable bowl big enough to hold all of the cereal& nuts later (about 2 quarts)- don't put the cereal& nuts in yet, though.
  • If your microwave is very small, you may need to make half batches.
  • Once melted, quickly whisk in brown sugar and maple extract.
  • Stir in the cereal and the nuts until coated and return bowl to microwave and cook on HIGH heat 4-5 minutes, stirring after every minute.
  • Spread out mix onto cookie sheets lined with wax paper and let cool.
  • Break apart and store in an airtight container.

MAPLE NUT CHEX PARTY MIX



Maple Nut Chex Party Mix image

My husband's family loves traditional Chex Party Mix which is a favorite at our Thanksmas celebration every year. My husband was craving something sweeter and asked for Maple Chex mix instead. I tried the only recipe I could find online but wasn't completely pleased with the results since the recipe really didn't coat the chex very well. I made a few changes to increase the coating. Very rich, very yummy. Definitely not for those on a diet.

MY MICROWAVABLE VERSION OF CHEX PARTY MIX



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.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: The possibilities are endless when it comes to party mix flavors. You can use sweet flavors like maple and brown sugar, savory flavors like ranch or chili powder, or a combination of both.
  • Make sure your party mix is well-coated: The key to a great party mix is to make sure that all of the pieces are well-coated in the flavoring. You can do this by tossing the mix in a large bowl or by using a spray bottle.
  • Let your party mix cool completely: Before you store your party mix, make sure that it has cooled completely. This will help to prevent the pieces from sticking together.
