Step 3: Melt your butter in the microwave then stir in the Buffalo sauce and mix well. I used a spatula to mix it up.
Step 4: Once well mixed, you can pour the mixture over the Chex mix and stir well. Make sure all pieces are coated.
Step 5: Pour the Chex party mix on the cookie sheet and spread out. Then sprinkle with your Creole seasoning.
Step 6: Bake as directed in the printable card below. Once done remove and allow to cool on cookie sheet.
Storage
Not sure how long homemade Chex mix lasts? Don’t worry, I got you. So what you will want to do is allow your Party Chex mix to fully cool.
Transfer to a sealable bag or airtight container. Then store for up to 4 weeks at room temperature. The biggest thing is to watch for it to go stale.
Now with that, your mixture needs to be cooked till it is dry. If it stays a bit wet, it will cause your mix to spoil.
Can you freeze Chex mix? This mix is awesome in terms of freezing! You can freeze for 4-6 months. Just place in a freezer bag, or freezer approved container.
