Can I substitute vegetable oil or butter? I don’t have any corn oil on hand.

Any kind of neutral cooking oil like vegetable oil or avocado oil will work. We haven't tested it with butter, but I'm afraid it could burn.

What kind of roasting pan do you use?

The roasting pan I recommend for this is a rectangular or oval-shaped, deep, and wide pan with sturdy handles. They are typically 16-18 inches. It's the same one I use to roast a chicken or turkey.

Can I customize the ingredients?

Yes! You can easily swap out the crunchy ingredients in this recipe. Just don't mess with the sauce that goes over it.

Preheat the oven to 250°F.
In a large roasting pan, combine cereals, pretzels, and nuts.

Notes/Tips

I use two wooden spoons to stir the mix. This helps it get thoroughly tossed.

Chex Mix stores well in an airtight container. It will be good for 3-4 weeks.
It’s fun to use holiday-themed pretzels around the holidays.
