Spicy Smoked Chex Mix for your next party

This Spicy Smoked Chex Mix is smoky, savory, crunchy, spicy … and BOOZY!

This recipe is easy. Throw all the ingredients together, place them in the smoker and get ready to party!

I’m literally addicted to this spicy mix. I take a bag (gallon) with me whenever I’m gonna be sitting for a while. Great for youth baseball/soccer games, deer stand, high school football games, work meetings, etc.

I definitely need to take a water bottle with me for this mix. The spice will sneak up on you and hover, but that sweet kiss of bourbon butter will keep you coming back for more. LOL!

Smoke it: Spicy Smoked Chex Mix

I’m particularly honed in on the smoke flavor. When the smoke hits the spicy, sugary butter mixture, it puts an excellent burst of flavor in every bite.

Not gonna lie, the Heath Riles Honey Rub makes it hard to stop eating, to be honest.

The time in the smoker allows the savory flavors of this Spicy Smoked Chex Mix to meld perfectly. The smoke and bourbon adds an irresistible smoky depth.

Great for any occasion, it is a versatile snack perfect for gifting, everyday snacking, or incorporating into holiday poppers.
