Oven-Baked Chex Mix
For me, two things epitomize holiday leisure time: a stack of jigsaw puzzles and a bowl of buttery, seasoned Chex Mix (paired with an adult beverage, naturally). The classic mix of cereal, salty snacks, and nuts can be made before the madness sets in, and stored in an airtight container for several weeks. The secret to the best Chex Mix is baking the mixture in a low oven until all the components achieve a deeply toasted flavor. Adding smoked nuts to the mix significantly deepens the flavor, but you can use roasted salted nuts instead. The Usual seasoning was made for this snacky mix, but feel free to swap in your favorite Fire & Smoke Society blend.
