This weekend I invited the youth from our neighborhood to sample three new flavors of Chex Mix and some of the moms attended, too. We had a great time watching Avatar and snacking on Chex Mix. My daughter, Margaret, shared a fat free dip recipe. Then we played a game to come up with new ways to use the new flavors of Chex!
There are 13 flavors of Chex. We served Chex Turtles, Sweet and Salty Chex and Original Chex Mix, provided by My Get Together. We also discussed recipes for Sour Cream, Cheddar, BBQ, and Bold flavors.
Chex Turtles with chocolate bits won by a landslide. Some of the moms said they had tried sweet and salty granola bars and their kids really loved the Sweet and Salty Chex Mix. A few guests made tiny sandwiches from the rye bits (about the size of a quarter) in the original mix.
Some of the new ways to use Chex are: pinch hitter for baking crumbs, rounding out cheddar meatloaf, salad toppings, dessert, and just a few for crunchy BBQ chicken.
Here is a fast, fat free dip recipe:
16 ounces fat free cream cheese, softened
juice from one lemon
1/2 bunch of green onions, finely chopped
dash of cajun salt (optional)
Mix and chill an hour or more. Use within 3 days.
