Notes
Tips to remember
For gluten-free and dairy-free Chex mix, swap out the butter with melted vegan butter sticks.
Making it a few days ahead of time allows for the flavors to really seep in and marinate.
Chex Mix will stay good up to 6 weeks in an airtight covered container stored at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze in air sealed bags up to 6 months.
Read the label for the Worcestershire sauce, making sure it is certified gluten free.
