Betty's 1952 Original Chex Party Mix
Betty demonstrates how to make the Original Chex Party Mix, a recipe that first appeared in the June 16, 1952 issue of Life magazine. Chex cereal was introduced in 1937 by the Ralston Purina Company, and the Original Chex Party Mix was used to promote it 15 years later. This has been a favorite snack over the years, even though the recipe has evolved through the decades. There have been at least 40 current versions available from General Mills, the maker of Chex cereal. I thought you might be interested in how it all began, by looking at the *first* recipe for Chex Party Mix!
1952 Original Chex Party Mix
1/3 cup butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups Wheat Chex
2 cups Rice Chex
½ cup nuts
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
Melt 1/3 cup butter in a shallow baking pan. Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Add 2 cups Wheat Chex, 2 cups Rice Chex, and ½ cup nuts. (I used peanuts.) Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt. Heat for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven, stirring every 10 minutes. (Note: After baking for the first 10 minutes, I lowered the heat to 250 degrees, and after the second 10 minutes, I removed the Party Mix from the oven. The Chex Mix would have been over-brown, if I had left it the full 30 minutes at 350 degrees. I suggest you bake this mix at only 250 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.) Cool. (Note: I stored my Chex Party Mix in an airtight container after it was cool.)
This is an interesting look back at a very simple combination of textures and flavors that became *very* popular! I think you will enjoy this simple mix!

------------------------------
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 12 oz Crispix cereal
- 1 cup toasted walnuts
- 1 cup toasted pecans
- 1 cup roasted peanuts
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 250°F.
- In a 4-quart saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt. Over medium-low heat, stir until the sugar is dissolved. Once the sugar is dissolved, continue to cook at a simmer for 5 minutes.
While the caramel is heating, in a large bowl combine the cereal and nuts and set aside.
- When the caramel mixture has cooked, remove it from heat and add the baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir to incorporate and the mixture will become airy and white. Immediately pour onto the prepared cereal and nuts.
- Stir the caramel and cereal mixture together until the caramel evenly coats the cereal and nuts. Pour into two greased baking sheets and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and cool for 20 minutes. The texture will seem soft while warm and will harden during cooling. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
