Buttery, gooey, and 100 percent naughty, this Gooey Chex Mix will have you completely hooked. One bite is all it takes and you won’t be able to walk away. 
If you haven’t already tried this stuff, you need to come out of the cave you’re living in and make it.
Seriously, this is some of the most insanely, good stuff you’ll ever eat.
I feel like big red lights should be flashing and a voice should be calling out “warning, warning,” when you make this stuff. But since that doesn’t happen, I will be the one to warn you that this stuff is extremely, and I mean extremely, addictive. I have zero control when it comes to this stuff, I can’t stop eating it. I’ve even found myself eating it for breakfast before, which by the way is totally ok because it’s cereal, right?!
I love making this for family vacations, football games, gifts, parties . . . . it pretty much falls into the category of “good for any occasion.”
Last summer when we were at the beach, our friends brought a bag of it down to the beach one day, and their son was calling it “heaven in a bag, “ that pretty much sums it up.
This stuff is crazy, crazy good.

Hi! I was wondering what size boxes of cereal you use? Thank you!
I think there is only one size of Chex and Golden Grahams, isn’t there? The Golden Grahams are 11.7 oz and the Rice Chex are 12 oz. If I’m wanting it to be more gooey, I sometimes only add about 3/4 of each box.
Chex has an 18 oz. & 12 oz box and Golden Grahams has a 16.7 oz. & 11.7 oz. box. Thank you for your quick response. This looks like a great recipe for the long weekend ahead!
You’re right there is a larger size Chex box, I think it’s the “family size” and I guess I’ve only seen the smaller size Golden Grahams at the stores by me. I’ll clarify that on the recipe, thanks Jessica.
