For as long as I can remember, I’ve been crazy about pistachios. I’ve tried those little nuts in just about everything – pasta sauce, chicken, cake, ice cream, you name it!
That’s why I couldn’t wait to try this creative recipe for a sweet and salty snack. It’s a fun twist on traditional Chex Mix, and my family gobbled it right up. The lime brings out the flavor in the nuts and the cereal gives it an extra crispy crunch. Love!
Ingredients (Makes 14 servings)
- 6 cups Vanilla Chex® cereal
- 1 cup roasted, salted pistachios, shelled
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup frozen (thawed) limeade concentrate
- 1 teaspoon grated lime peel
Directions
Prep Time: 15 Minutes

1. In large microwavable bowl, measure cereal and pistachios; set aside.
