Tips and Tricks for Perfect Buffalo Chex Mix

  • Melt the butter in the microwave OR on the stove, just be careful not to brown the butter.
  • You can make some substitutions like using small pretzel sticks instead of mini pretzels, use cheezits instead of the four cheese crackers we used here.

PRO TIP: For a crunchier mix, blast the whole sheet pan under the broiler for a minute or so while it is drying.
