Garlic Bread Chex Mix

If you love love garlic bread AND Chex Mix, then this recipe is perfect for you. With garlic, parmesan and basil it’s a delicious was to satisfy that garlic bread craving, without all the calorie laden bread and butter!

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE a nice big slice of garlic bread with a spaghetti dinner. But let’s face it, it’s not exactly a healthy snack. Cut to this Garlic Bread Chex Mix. It’s full of crunch from the Chex cereal and pretzels, and it’s coated in a buttery, garlicky, Parmesan-y mix that adds a delicious, intense flavor.

I was grocery shopping at my local Vons the other day, and as I shopped I was trying to come up with snack ideas for my kids. I was getting a serious craving for garlic bread as I passed the bakery on the way to the cereal aisle. I saw the General Mills ™ Chex Cereal and immediately this idea for Garlic Bread Chex Mix popped into my head. I grabbed a couple boxes of cereal and headed home to whip up this delicious snack mix.

I’m always looking for a quick snack idea that will satisfy my picky kids. This Chex Mix recipe couldn’t be easier. The cereal and pretzels are coated with a mixture of melted butter, dried basil, dried parsley, granulated garlic and Parmesan cheese.

Then it’s baked in the oven for about 10 minutes to seal in all the flavor. That’s it – takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish, and it’s a great snack to have for your hungry kiddos when they get home from school.

Next time you’re out shopping, grab some Chex cereal and make yourself some of the Garlic Bread Chex Mix. Then try not to eat it all before your kids get home. I dare you.
