Crockpot Chex Mix

This perfectly seasoned Crockpot Chex Mix will have your friends and family munching, crunching and snacking the night away. It’s buttery, toasty, and SO much better than store-bought! The only problem will be how fast it disappears! Just 5 minutes of prep, and your slow cooker will take over.

This crockpot chex mix holiday recipe is so good I don’t trust anyone around it, least of all myself.

Seriously, how do you keep yourself from grabbing handful after handful when something so tempting is just sitting there, daring you with such audaciously munchable flavors!?

Kelsey writes: "Excellent recipe!! My friends said this is the best Chex Mix they've ever had."

At least making it is so easy, because a second batch is almost a necessity at my house.

The bold flavors of the ranch, parmesan, garlic, and onion create snacking urges I didn’t even know were possible! You know, the same kind of snacking urges you’ll experience when you make my Spiced Walnuts, crunchy Kale Chips with Parmesan, and tangy, sweet Grape Jelly Meatballs.

Together, they create a snackable sensation that will have you reaching for more before you’ve even finished what’s in your hand. All it takes is just one whiff of this crunch-tastic slow cooker chex mix, and your snack mode will be instantly activated!

Then, after your first bite all bets will be off, because you’ll smiling, munching, and snacking to the very bottom of your slow cooker.

So today, snack in style when you round up these super simple crockpot chex mix ingredients…

Ingredients

You’ll start with the following crunchy ingredients for your crockpot chex mix…

• Rice Chex – the star of this Cereal Snack Recipe.
• Melba Roasted Garlic Snacks – or you can also use Bagel Chips.
• Mini Pretzel Twists – gives your mix a satisfying salty crunch.
• Cheez-Its – add an extra hint of cheesy flavor.
• Cashews – for a satisfying chewy crunch.
• Butter – adds a rich, savory flavor to the mix, while helping bind everything together.

Then, you’ll also need these chex mix seasoning ingredients…

• Ranch Seasoning Mix – to add a savory herb flavor. You can use store bought or my homemade Buttermilk Ranch Seasoning.
• Parmesan Cheese – to balance out the butter while adding a salty, cheesy flavor. Plus, it clings to each piece beautifully!
• Onion Powder – to add that deeper, sweet and savory onion flavor that will keep you grabbing for bite after bite!
• Garlic Salt – to add warm and savory garlic flavors, while bringing out all of the flavors with the touch of salt.

With my Crockpot Appetizers like this slow cooker chex mix, you’ll also need a 7 quart Crock Pot to get the job done. (A smaller crock pot can be used if you cut this chex mix holiday recipe in half.)

How Long Will Homemade Chex Mix Last?

This crockpot chex mix can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Due to low moisture content of parmesan cheese, cooked parmesan does not need to be refrigerated right away. I like to store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days, then transfer to the refrigerator for the remainder of the week.

That makes this party mix snack one of the most ideal Thanksgiving Make Ahead Recipes and Slow Cooker Christmas Recipes!
