This homemade gluten free Chex mix recipe is super easy to make and great for holiday get togethers and our family and kids LOVE it! We love to make it at Christmas and Thanksgiving!
We LOVE Chex Mix at our house! We make several big batches of this Chex mix recipe at Christmas every yearand each time it goes…quickly! We do leave out the nuts because no one in our family like nuts but mom and me.
This homemade Chex mix is best when it is baked in the oven.There is just something about baking that really brings out the flavor in our opinion.
If you use generic ingredients or a different brand than I’ve included,you should read the ingredients if you’re trying to keep it gluten free.

I live in Orange County, CA where everything is expensive and people are “fancy “. By following your recipes and frugal tips my family is able to live on one income and enjoy vacations and special date nights. We are debt free and have cut our grocery bill in half by following your lead. Tawra, I have “gotten it together” and my family has reaped the benefits! Thanks to you, Jill and Mike!
