Herbed Holiday Party Mix

A crunchy and addicting Savory Snack Mix that is perfect for the holidays. It’s like a herbed Chex mix with the mild flavors of rosemary and thyme.

Savory Chex Mix For The Holidays

Do snack mixes make an appearance on your Holiday spread?

For both Tim and I they were the sign that people were coming over and a special snack was in order.

Honestly, snack mixes like this one were a favorite of our childhood, and we’ve decided that they shouldn’t be reserved for the holidays. So, we make mixes like this year-round. But, come Holiday time, extra special seasonings go into our mixes that really make us think of home.

Our Herbed Holiday Party Mix

The green herbs and red pepper flakes that are baked into this party mix give it festive red and green flakes. The flavor is mildly herby and the red pepper gives an ever-so-slight kick.

We love the combination of rice and corn cereals with salty pretzels. We added some Cheerios in the mix too and were quite impressed at how well those little O’s took to the savory flavor!
