Test Kitchen: 3 Styles of Chex Mix

In this flavor-filled episode of Snack Society: Test Kitchen, I head into the kitchen to whip up three different Chex Mix recipes — one classic, one spicy, and one sweet — and take a bite out of the history behind these iconic snacks.

In this episode:

  1. A cozy crash course in the history of Chex Mix (did you know it started with Purina?)
  2. The Midwestern roots of Puppy Chow — and why it’s called that
  3. Three Chex-based recipes tested and rated

Whether you’re prepping for a road trip, a game day party, or just craving something crunchy with a story behind it, this episode will leave you hungry in the best way.
