Ghost Pepper Chex Mix Recipes

DEVILISHLY SPICY CHEX MIX

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 250 F.
• In a large bowl, gently stir together the Chex cereal, Bugles, oyster crackers, peanuts, and pretzels.
• Add the butter to a measuring cup or another microwave-safe dish that is easy to pour from, and microwave until melted.
• Whisk the seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper into the butter until it is completely combined.
• Gradually pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture, stirring as you pour so that all of the cereal is completely coated.
• Spread the cereal onto a large ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Make sure it is spread out in one even layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven, and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure all pieces get crispy.
• Allow the mixture to cool and then add the Flamin' Hot Cheetos. (Do not add at the beginning. They do not stay crispy when mixed with the butter mixture.)
• Serve right away or store in an airtight container. The mix will stay fresh for about a week.

GHOST PEPPER CHEX MIX

Steps:

• Mix the three spices and set aside. Measure out cereals, nuts, rye chips, and Cheetos and set aside. In a very large microwavable bowl, microwave butter for 10-20 seconds, stirring until fully melted. Pour in seasonings, and stir until dissolved in the butter. Stir in worcestershire sauce and salsa. Add dry ingredients to this mixture, and stir until evenly coated. Microwave uncovered on High for 8 minutes, thoroughly stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool and dry for 10 to 15 minutes. Seal Chex Mix in an airtight container and let cure for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

SPICY PARTY MIX

Steps:

• Arrange racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat to 250 degrees. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Combine cereal, nuts, pretzels and add-ins in a very large bowl. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave in 20-second increments, about 1 minute. (You can also do this in a small saucepan over low heat on the stovetop.) Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
• Add half of the melted butter mixture to the cereal mixture. Gently and thoroughly fold to combine. Add the rest of the melted butter mixture and stir until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Divide the mixture evenly across the prepared pans. Bake, stirring and switching racks every 15 minutes, until crisp and slightly darkened in color, about 1 hour. Cool completely on the pans on wire racks before serving (if you can wait that long). Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
