Buffalo Chex Mix is for the people who like a little kick in their mix!
My husband, Mr. B loves Chex Mix, pretty much anything salty and crunchy. When I asked him if he would like Buffalo Chex Mix his eyes lit up with a big YES! He is a fan of anything with buffalo sauce on it.
Mr. B’s mother, Lorna is the master at the Original Chex Mix. There is no way I could even come close to making it the way she does, so I thought it would be better to come up with a different flavor Chex Mix. Thus, Buffalo Chex Mix was born.
This recipe for Buffalo Chex Mix has the most obvious ingredients of Chex Cereal, pretzels and nuts; the not so obvious ingredient is pita chips. They add another level of crunch to the mix. Baking it at a low temperature for a long period of time gives the sauce a chance to seep into the ingredients.
Enjoy!
