ChexPartyMixChange_2_4c

 

A few weekends ago we celebrated Lil Diva’s 3rd birthday party; while it is amazing to see my baby girl grow up it was definitely a bittersweet celebration!  Since refreshments are a must at every party I took great care to choose snacks that both the kids and adults in attendance would enjoy—and that definitely meant some Chex Mix!

 

Chex Mix has been a long-time go to snack in our family; my mom makes the traditional Chex Mix for nearly every together…and if we’re really good ( a lil mommy humor) she’ll mix up a batch of Muddy Buddy mix!  When I decided to include Chex Mix in the festivities I wanted to do something a little outside the box and thanks to MyBlogSpark and Chex that was a breeze!

 

I recently had the opportunity to host a Chex Party Mix Change party, thanks to MyBlogSpark and Chex and I thought what better time to have some people over and share a little Chex Mix than Lil Diva’s birthday party—it was perfect timing for sure!

 

Since I’d never tried my hand at making Chex Mix before, yes, I’m the type of mom who buys the already made mix at the store,  I was a little worried about how hard it would be and how good they would taste, but it turns out that I was worried for no reason at all because it was so simple!  I chose four different Chex Mixes to make for our party; Traditional Chex Party Mix, Muddy Buddy Mix, Chili Garlic Chex Mix, and Chex Pumpkin Pie Crunch in honor of fall.  Since I had never made any type of Chex Mix before I didn’t know how easy, or how difficult it would be, so I made sure to allow myself plenty of time before the party to whip up a few test batches—turns out I didn’t need them because they all came out perfect on the first try…seriously you cannot mess this up!  Most of the people at the party had tried the Chex Traditional Party Mix and the Muddy Buddy mix, but no one had tried Chili Garlic and Pumpkin Pie Crunch varieties before and I loved being the first to introduce them!  I expected everyone to like all of the different varieties of Chex Mix, but I never expected everyone to love them and everyone wanted the recipes and commented that they were definitely serving Chex Mix at their next together…score!

 

Our Chex Party Mix-Change party was a big success, everyone loved all of the different Chex Mix varieties and couldn’t wait to try them out themselves at home!  I even found out that I could make Chex Mix at home that tasted just as good as the stuff you buy at the store—it was a definite win-win situation!  Want to throw your own Chex Party Mix-Change party?  Check out all of the great recipestips, and ideas below!

 

Highlighting the flavors of pumpkin pie, cinnamon, brown sugar and caramel, your guests are sure to “fall” in love with these seasonal favorites that can be made in the microwave in 15 minutes or less.
