This Red White & Blue Chex Mix will be the hit of any party. Blueberry Chex, Rice Chex, pretzels, marshmallows, popcorn & M&M’s coated in melted white chocolate. It’s so addicting!
I don’t know if you’re doing to hate me or love me for sharing this recipe today.
I’m kinda hating myself right now because I had no self-control with this Red White & Blue Chex Mix. Actually, every single one of us could have eaten the entire batch.
This stuff is ADDICTING so consider yourself warned my friends.
If you’ve never tasted the Blueberry Chex then you are in for a treat. They are so, so good and are truly the star of this mix. The blueberry flavor is spot on! It’s not overpowering, but you can definitely taste it.
This is simple to make and comes together quickly.
If you’re needing a last minute treat to take to your 4th of July BBQ, then this is it.
Do you all have big plans for today? I hope so and I hope at least some of those plans involve food!
Happy 4th of July!!
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS CHEX MIX:
- Make sure you set your microwave to 50% power when you melt the white chocolate chips. White chocolate chips do not melt as easily and well as milk or semisweet chocolate chips do. They can get clumpy and seize up. By cooking them at 50% power and stirring really well after the first minute and then every 30 seconds until they’re melted, they should melt just fine. When I melt them this way, I never have a problem.
- When you’re stirring in the melted white chocolate, just do it gently so you don’t break the Chex cereal into pieces. It takes a few minutes to get everything coated, but it will eventually all be covered in the melted white chocolate.
- You can use Rice or Corn Chex for this, but DON’T replace the Blueberry Chex using all Rice or Corn Chex. The Blueberry Chex are what make this mix so insanely delicious. If you’ve never tried them yet, you MUST!
- What’s fun about this is you can swap out the sprinkles and M&M’s for different colors and make this for any holiday.
- This makes a darling gift wrapped in a cellophane bag with a ribbon tied around it.

Looks yummy! What kind of popcorn did you use?
Hi Maria, I either just pop some popcorn in my hot air popper or use microwave popcorn (any kind that’s not loaded with salt and butter, usually the Orville Redenbacher white popcorn). You’ll love this!
