Chex Mix Muddy Buddies – Christmas Chex Mix Recipe Blend

The holidays are a time for get-togethers – with family, friends, co-workers and more. So, it’s always good to have on hand munchie food no matter what type of get-together it is! This Chex Mix Muddy Buddies recipe is an oldie but goodie snack mix that is always sure to please a crowd and you will go through this stuff in no time.

This Christmas Chex Mix recipe blend is perfect for holiday parties, or just having around the house to snack on during this season. My cousin and aunt always make batches for all of us of the regular, salty Chex mix and bring to Thanksgiving for us to take home, which I love and it lasts about a day or two at our house. But I love this sweet version of the Chex Mix, too, with the Chex Mix Muddy Buddies, for all of us who love that perfect light mix of chocolate & peanut butter. We’ve changed it up just a little bit, too, to make it more festive for Christmas time, with this Christmas Chex Mix recipe version.
