So I made this Spicy Chex Mix a really long time ago, like back in the fall before baby arrived. And then I totally forgot that I made it and found the photos sitting on my computer recently while doing some cleaning and freaked out that I forgot about it because this Chex Mix is the bombdiggity (yes, I just said bombdiggity. I’m so 90’s)! Chex Mix is such a classic party dish, isn’t it? It’s one of those things where once you start eating it, you can’t stop digging into the bowl.

This is the perfect party mix to make if you are having friends over for game watching, game playing, or even for road trip snacks. The spiciness comes in thanks to the sriracha sauce. Sriracha is also bombdiggity and I want to put it on all of the things. It makes this Chex Mix extra special and addictive!

I used corn and wheat Chex, pretzels, peanuts, and Cheez-Its, but like any party mix, you can always change up the ingredients if you want to add in more fun stuff like popcorn, other cereals or nuts, etc!
