Looking for a fun and easy sweet chex mix? We love this easy churro chex mix for parties and entertaining or just a night at home with Netflix!
I know these went crazy around the web years ago, and I think that recipe is awesome even if I don’t have a clue who started it. There are so many churro chex recipes out there and not many bloggers linked up to a source even though it clearly was not their original idea so now here I am doing the same thing because I cannot figure out who started the craze.
Tip for Chex Mix
Now I’ll tell you a tip but it’s not necessary, it’s just what I like. I like to use about 1 cup less cereal because I really like how clumpy the mix gets.
I make a bigger batch of the coating because it makes it more like a churro muddy buddies versus just a snacky chex mix. So, hop on it and probably invite some friends over or you’ll be eating it all.

Your tips say you use 1 cup less cereal and you make extra topping. Does the recipe as shown include these tips or do I have to adjust the recipe to match your tips?
Hi Brook! That is just something that I do if I’m feeling really indulgent. It’s an optional change you can make if you want.
I just made this for a Mexican themed party I’m going to today. This is sooo freaking good. Thankfully Wegmans carries cinnamon chips all year round <3 I've already snuck a few and have already contemplated not bringing it and to keep it for myself. They're lucky I like them all.
Hahaha! I love this! Thank you so much Nicole!
I’m curious if anyone had made this with cinnamon Chex instead of rice Chex? Would it be too much cinnamon favoring? What do you think?
I bet it would be totally delicious! Great idea!
Where can I find the Rice chex?
And one more stupid question… Do you think I can replace the Rice Chex by another ingredients like cracker?
Hi Natalie,
I haven’t tried it with crackers so I’m not sure how that would taste.
Amazing! I have actually never seen the churro version of Chex mix…but churros are an all time family favorite at my house. Can’t wait to try them.
Well yay! You’ll have to try it!
This looks so addictive, pinning for later!!!
These sound amazing! I love anything cinnamon and these look great (and easy to make). Gonna have to try this out soon 🙂
