Chex mix is a delicious snack that everyone loves! Gluten-free, nut-free Chex mix is easy to make and tastes great. Bonus: you can really make this recipe your own by adding themed ingredients like chocolate footballs.
This mix is perfect for the super bowl or other football or sports parties. I used chocolate footballs and green M&M's to make this mix extra festive.
This recipe was inspired by my three-ingredient chocolate bark and pairs well with my oven-dried orange slices.
