This Smoked Brown Butter Chex Snack Mix is perfect to munch on while watching your favorite movie. Smoking the snack mix outside is a great way to add flavor, plus the bonus is you aren’t heating up your kitchen in the summer.

Smoked Brown Butter Chex Snack Mix after smoking on the Traeger Grill.
Ready to slow smoke on the Traeger grill.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 sticks of unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp of malted milk powder (optional)
  • 2 – 0.62 ounce envelopes of The Original Chex Party Mix Seasoning Blend
  • 9 cups of Chex cereal (Corn, Rice, Wheat Chex)
  • 1 bag of Garlic Bagel chips, broken into bite size pieces
  • 1 cup Snaps Butter Pretzels
  • 1 cup Cheez Its, (I used the extra toasty one.)
  • 1 cup Nuts of your choice, (I used almonds, macadamia, and hazelnuts)
  • 1 cup Oyster crackers
  • 1 cup Sociables crackers, broken into bite sized pieces
  • 1 – 3.375 ounce bag of Fritos corn chips

NOTE: I used snacks that I had on hand, these are just suggestions. Choose your favorites to add into your snack mix!

Instructions:

  • Preheat Traeger grill (or smoker) to 250° and line a roasting pan or large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • First, make the brown butter:
  • Melt the butter: Place butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add malted milk powder: Once the butter is melted, whisk in the malted milk powder.
  • Cook and stir: Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the milk solids begin to brown and the butter develops a toasty, nutty aroma.
  • Watch carefully: The butter will foam and sputter, and the milk solids will clump and brown. Be careful not to burn the butter; it happens quickly.
  • Remove from heat: As soon as the butter reaches your desired level of browning, immediately remove it from the heat.
  • Whisk the Chex Party Mix Seasoning Blend into the brown butter.
  • In a huge bowl, add in the Chex cereal, garlic bagel chips, pretzels, Cheez Its, nuts, oyster crackers, Social crackers, and Fritos. (Or whatever goodies you choose to add to your snack mix).
  • Pour in the seasoned brown butter and toss all of the snacks in the butter until fully coated.
  • Pour the snack mix into the prepared pan and spread out evenly. Smoke on the Traeger grill at 250° for one hour, be sure to stir the snack mix every 15 minutes for even cooking.
  • Let the snack mix cool and store in an air tight container.

Enjoy!
