I know of it, maybe had it once. It seems to always be on sale at the grocery store.

There was something someone showed me about what Baby Boomers eat that people don't eat now. I remember soda, meatloaf, Velveeta (this bb never at that to begin with), jello, and I don't remember what else.

I love the stuff, but we don't keep chips or things like that around unless we have a cookout or something.

If I need or want Chex Mix I'll buy a bag of it at the grocery store. It's too much trouble and expense to make it from scratch for as often as I'd need it.

When I was working, I made it each Christmas for my 15 co-workers. Yes it was a lot of work but everyone loved it.

@OKPrincess The best one I ever had was home made! The stuff in the sack doesn't compare! TOO salty!

Time consuming to make but tasty and makes great gifts.

I never tasted it. My family never made it and it has never looked appetizing to me. I'd rather just eat plain nuts without the cereal and other stuff.

The last time I made this, I was having a mixed party with both adults and children. I made it thinking the kids would like it. They didn't touch it, but the adults kept going back for more!

we still love it. chex mix is a classic. i can sometimes find the "starter kit" in sams club

i can say that my hidden valley ranch oyster crackers go over a lot bigger than chex mix. it also makes a good food gift when you put it into a cute tin or other packaging.

My family and I still enjoy the original Chex Mix at gatherings from time to time, but I think people under 25 just don't "get it" nowadays. And honestly, if you've never tasted it before, it isn't the most attractive pile in a bowl to pull you in.

However, the sweet variations of the mix always seem to be a hit! I make some version of Muddy Buddies every year for my "Elf Friday" holiday kickoff party (held the day after Thanksgiving and featuring a viewing of the movie Elf, starring "Buddy") and rarely have leftovers.
