If you like standard Chex snack mix, you’ll love this spicy buffalo version even more. How do I know? My mom makes traditional Chex mix around the holidays every year, and this year is no different. But, when I made this Buffalo Ranch Chex Mix she immediately said I would need to make more and wanted to know if she could have the recipe.
There’s a whole lot of good stuff in this mix. Cereal, cheese wisps, pretzels, nuts, and a whole lot of flavor. This Chex mix is probably my new favorite. Cheesy and just spicy enough to keep you coming back for more with that delicious hotting inspired taste.

Place the butter and brown sugar in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring half way.
Add the vanilla and pumpkin spice to the melted butter and brown sugar mixture.
Pour the pumpkin spice mixture over the cereal mixture in the bowl and toss with a wooden spoon or spatula until everything is coated.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper or spraying with cooking spray. Pour the cereal mixture out evenly onto the baking sheet and bake in a 275º F oven for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes.
After it is done baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet. Pour into a large serving bowl and add in the rest of the candy. Toss to combine and enjoy!!
