Servings: 20
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Chex
- 2 cups Melba Roasted Garlic Snacks (or Bagel Chips) broken into pieces
- 2 cups Mini Pretzel Twists
- 2 cups Italian Four Cheese Cheez-Its
- 1.5 cups Lightly Salted Whole Cashews
- 1/2 cup Butter melted
- 1 oz. Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 packet, or use 3 Tbsp of my homemade Buttermilk Ranch Seasoning
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tsp. Salt
- ½ tsp. Onion Powder
- ½ tsp. Garlic Salt
Instructions
- Gather your crockpot chex mix ingredients.
- Add Chex, Melba Snacks, Pretzels, Cheez-Its, and Cashews to Crock Pot, and stir well to combine.
- In small bowl, combine Ranch Mix packet, Parmesan Cheese, Salt, Onion Powder, and Garlic Salt. Stir well to combine.
- Pour seasoning mixture over snacks in Crock Pot, and stir well.
- Then pour melted butter over snack mixture in Crock Pot, and stir well.
- Cover Crock Pot with lid, and place a paper towel just under the lid to collect the condensation when cooking. (this will keep your Chex Mix nice and crispy.)
- Cook on LOW for 1.5 - 2 hours, or until done. Make sure to stir well at least every 30 minutes to avoid burning.
- Once done, spread Chex Mix out on wax paper on the counter to cool. ENJOY!
Notes
- Crock Pot Size: I used 7 quart crock pot, but this chex mix holiday recipe can be cut in half and made in a smaller crock pot.
- How To Store: This slow cooker 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.
