I know that a lot of people usually make Chex mix around the holiday season, but with the Superbowl coming up this weekend, I felt like it was time for a good Chex mix recipe to appear on my website.

This Bold Chex Mix recipe is like your traditional Chex mix but with a more bold flavor. It's such a great snack to take on road trips, have for movie nights or to watch the big game on Sunday. I am such a sucker for Chex mix, if I'm not paying attention I will eat the whole bowl. This recipe will for sure be your go-to snack mix for when you want a savory treat.

Tips

Storage: ​Make sure that you cool the Chex mix completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Don't have mini pretzels? Extra mini pretzels, pretzel sticks or a square pretzel mix are great alternatives. If you don't have those, you can use bagel chips or rye chips.

Replace the Worcestershire sauce. I honestly think that this is the secret ingredient in this mix, but if you don't want to go to the grocery store for some you can replace it with 2 ½ tablespoon soy sauce and 2 ½ tablespoon lemon juice.
