Pecan Pie Chex Mix is the perfect treat to serve at a party or give as a gift to neighbors and friends.
Our family loves getting together as much as possible during the holiday season, and no gathering is complete without party food!
Growing up, our mom always made a huge batch of some sort of Chex Mix or Muddy Buddies to eat while we played games or watched a holiday movie.

How to Make Pecan Pie Chex Mix:
- Combine Rice Chex and chopped pecans in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute.
- Remove from microwave and whisk in baking soda.
- Pour over cereal mixture and gently toss until cereal and pecans are evenly coated.
- Spread mixture onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper; let cool.

Storage Instructions
For daily snacking, keep your mix in a cool, dry place like a pantry.
- Shelf Life: It stays fresh for 2 weeks on average, though it tastes best if eaten within the first 2–3 days.
- Avoid the Fridge: Never store Chex Mix in the refrigerator; the cold and humidity will cause it to lose its crunch and become soggy.
- Airtight Container: Transfer cooled mix to a tightly sealed Tupperware, glass jar, or heavy-duty Ziploc bag. Squeeze as much air as possible out of bags to maintain crispness.

If you don’t have room in your fridge to let this set up, you can leave it out on your counter. It will set up faster in the fridge, but it also works to just leave it out.

Hi – how long does your pecan pie Chex party mix stay fresh ? I’m thinking to include it in Christmas baskets but would want to make it ahead of time … Thank you
It should be fine in an airtight container for about 5 days. It doesn’t last long at our house, we polish it off within a day or 2. 🙂
Thanks Cyd 🙂
Has anyone tried to make this using dark chocolate
This recipe is amazing! I just made a few batches for teachers and friends for Christmas. I will definitely make this again!
