Using up the Hot Sauce

Remember the Buffalo Chicken Dip from a few weeks ago? I am so type A that it bugs me to have a half-empty jar of something in the refrigerator with no plans for it. So when I was reading the coupon section on Sunday morning (totally the first part of the paper I read) I ran across a recipe for Buffalo Chex Mix. (By the way, Chex, not unlike Hershey, is slacking and doesn't have the recipe on their list, or at least it's not easy to find).

Moving on.... so I'll post the recipe for you. It's tasty and although it has a kick, it's certainly not too hot. I think my kids will even enjoy it as they like spicy food.


Buffalo Chex Mix
  • 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 4 cups Wheat Chex cereal
  • 2 cups Parmesan-flavored tiny fish-shaped crackers
  • 2 cups pretzel twists
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 2 1/2 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 2 tsp celery seed (I didn't use this because I didn't have any)

1. In large microwavable bowl, mix cereals, crackers and pretzels; set aside. In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on high about 40 seconds or until melted. Stir in hot sauce and seasonings. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evening coated. (Note: I used a square Rubbermaid container that was microwave safe- I didn't have a bowl big enough.)

2. Microwave uncovered on high for 4-5 minutes, thoroughly stirring every 2 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container.

I make this same exact dip except I use cheddar cheese in place of mozz. I actually have never seen it with mozz. It is a HUGE hit and is always gone really fast. I love it!
