Christmas Chex Mix Recipe – The cutest party snack mix and easiest holiday treat to gift to friends and family all holiday season!!
Sometimes called “white trash” and sometimes called “Christmas chex mix.” But whatever you call it… it’s amazing!!! My recipe takes the classic holiday treat up a level with these elf hats. The elf hats are made with bugles and candy melts. And they are so fun and festive. But more importantly, they are freaking delicious.
It’s just a bunch of cereals, pretzels, and peanuts tossed together and then coated in white chocolate. This is a recipe for you if you don’t love to bake. It couldn’t be easier. And it requires minimal baking/cooking skills.
You can make the elf hats into Santa hats by using red candy melts instead of green candy melts. Or do a combo of both! Then use only white non-pareil sprinkles and mini marshmallows for the top instead of M&M’s.
You can also change the chex mix ingredients to what you prefer! Don’t like peanuts? Leave them out. Like a different shaped pretzel? Use that instead. Have multiple half used boxes of chex mix? Use a combo to clean out the pantry.
You don’t have to refrigerate it. It will last for a week in an airtight container at room temperature.
Yes! This snack mix keeps super well in the freezer. The freezer gives it an extra crunch and the snack mix will last way longer (up to a month!). To freeze, put the finished mix in an airtight container and store in the freezer.
The BEST cut out sugar cookies.
7 Layer Bar Macaroons! Think 7 layer bar but waaay easier.
Can’t go wrong with a classic chocolate chip cookie.
Peppermint bark pretzels would be a great option if you want something no-bake.
