It's only fattening if you eat enough of it that you go over your daily calories burned. One day of overeating is not going to harm you. It's high in carbs and fat, and salt, with some protein - it's actually not a terrible snack, but not something I'd choose to eat every day either.

What Is This Brown Thing In My Chex Mix??? The question of the day is: what are these round, brown disks in my Chex Mix? Answer: Melba toasts. And they are clearly the best part of the whole thing.

The three types of cereal are usually Corn Chex, Rice Chex, and Wheat Chex. Beyond that, pretzels, peanuts, and some kind of cracker or rye chip are standard. Is it cheaper to buy Chex Mix or make your own? Homemade Chex Mix is cheaper AND better tasting than anything you can buy at the store.

NOTE: Many readers have had issues with their mix burning at 325 degrees. I haven't had this problem, but I would recommend baking at 250 degrees F to avoid this potential issue. In a large roasting pan, stir together the cereals, pretzels and nuts.

Sorry for the bad news but the Dark Chocolate Chex Mix have been discontinued last June 😔. We will let our team know how much you love them and would like to see them back again.

Chex Mix Snack Mix, Traditional, Savory Snack Bag, 8.75 oz

A: There is probably about 3 cups.

One standard-size (12-ounce) box of Rice Chex cereal contains about 11 cups of cereal. Save yourself the hassle of measuring out 9 cups and dump the entire box into your largest bowl. It's easier, it feeds more people, and you don't have an awkward amount of cereal left over.

A family size (18 ounces) box of Chex has a little bit over 17 cups of Chex (enough for 2 batches of Muddy Buddies!), and a regular, 13.8-ounce box of Chex yields 8 cups (perfect for 1 batch of Muddy Buddies!). We hope you love this recipe!
