Chex Mix (stylized as Chex mix) is a type of snack mix that includes Chex breakfast cereal (sold by General Mills) as a major component. There are commercially sold pre-made varieties of Chex Mix, as well as many recipes (often printed on Chex cereal boxes) for homemade Chex Mix. Though contents vary, the mixes generally include an assortment of Chex cereals, chips, hard breadsticks, pretzels, nuts or crackers.

History

Chex cereal was introduced in 1937 by Ralston Purina. By 1952, recipes for "Chex party mix" appeared on boxes of Chex cereal. However, it was not until 1985 that pre-packaged products were introduced commercially by Ralston Purina and the trademarks registered to it. Chex party mix became popular as a holiday treat when purportedly in 1955, the wife of a Ralston executive in St. Louis served the snack at a holiday function. However, Chex party mix was not a unique idea: it was one of many popular "TV mixes" - snacks which could be consumed without interrupting television watching - which appeared in the 1950s with the introduction of television. For example, a 1950 Betty Crocker cookbook includes a recipe for a snack mix made with Kix cereal.

In August 1996, General Mills acquired the Chex product line from Ralston Purina along with other brands.

Commercial contents and varieties

All commercial Chex Mixes contain some form of Chex cereal. Other ingredients generally include rye chips, breadsticks, pretzels, nuts, and crackers. In total, General Mills produces 13 varieties of Chex Mixes, not including limited editions. These flavors can be broadly divided into three categories: salty, chocolate (usually marketed as "Muddy Buddies"), and sweet 'n salty. Sometimes, limited edition varieties of Chex Mix are released.

Homemade Chex Mix

Homemade Chex Mix has become a pastime. It is traditional to assemble one's own mix from one or more kinds of Chex and then include pretzels, nuts, chips, and/or other cereals to taste and then bake the mix with butter and other spices (often Worcestershire sauce). Recipes are often found on Chex boxes, and it is not uncommon for homemakers to adapt or create their own variants for a "house mix".
