Margarita Chex Mix

Five minutes is all it takes to make this homemade margarita Chex Mix – and that’s being generous; you could probably do it in three.  When you’re done, you’ll have a simple party snack with all of the elements of snacking success: sweet, salty, tangy, and crunchy.  Since I am always baking cupcakes, I sometimes forget that a snack doesn’t have to take ten minutes of prep time and twenty minutes in the oven to be a party favorite.  This homemade margarita Chex Mix is right up there with my sweet and salty roasted chickpeas in my quick, easy, amazing, please-don’t-let-me-forget-this recipe repertoire.

Homemade Margarita Chex Mix Recipe

You can find a few other recipes for margarita Chex Mix online.  Where mine differs is that I did not use margarita mix as a key ingredient – I just didn’t find the need for it.  As you’ll see below, I flavored mine with tequila, lime juice, and powdered sugar (you can add salt if you are a salted-rim kind of person).

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Chex
  • 3 cups Wheat Chex
  • 2 cups small pretzel sticks
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon tequila
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Place both kinds of Chex and pretzel rods in a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, lime juice, tequila, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Pour butter mixture over Chex and pretzels and toss until all of the Chex and pretzels are coated.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

If the Chex Mix sits too long, it may get a little soggy. You can revitalize it by spreading the Chex Mix in a single layer on a cookie sheet and lightly toasting it.
I found that the Chex and pretzels had enough salt to make the recipe balance nicely. However, if you are a salted-rim margarita fan, you may want to add salt to the recipe.
If you will be serving this at a party with children, it's OK to leave the tequila out. It will still taste good.
If you live in a country where Chex is not available, you can use another cereal for the recipe, like shredded wheat or flakes.

Another Chex Mix Idea

I periodically run a Facebook event called Cupcake Roulette.  The winner gets paired with me and I develop a recipe or two inspired by something on their site.  The winner of the most recent Cupcake Roulette was Jasey’s Crazy Daisy!  Although she has a ton of fun recipes on her site, I was most excited by her Cinnamon Bun Chex Mix.  It sounds phenomenal!  She inspired me to try my own hand at a homemade Chex Mix recipe (and an upcoming Chex Mix cupcake).  Thanks for playing, Jasey!

    PS – Thanks for the wonderful opportunity. I was wondering if you preferred I look through your archives, or if I could write a post introducing you, featuring “my” cupcake, and giving your roulette game a shout out. Maybe we could coordinate if you wanted to host another roulette about the same time that I could send readers to?

  38. Jasey McBurnettsays:

    What a fun party mix! I can’t wait to try it! I’m so glad you found things you like at JCD’s:). It makes my day to know that someone has found something that makes them happy or perhaps even inspiring at my place. I can’t wait to see what your cupcake creation is!

    What a creative flavor combo–sounds delish. Love the presentation in the margarita glass, too. It would be fun to put out a tray of filled glasses for snacking at a party–easy to grab, hold, and eat. Pinning this.
