This homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Chex Mix recipe has all the flavors of your favorite PSL without being overwhelming.
I am a big fan of non traditional Chex mix so I made some other flavored snack mix recipes. Be sure to try dill pickle chex mix, Thai check mix (my current favorite!), Buffalo Check mix (think buffalo wings!) and rosemary and thyme check mix, perfect for wine night!
Three types of Chex cereal along with honey roasted peanuts, pretzel sticks and pepitas combine to make your favorite fall flavored snack.

Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
You are welcome to microwave the pumpkin pie spice chex mix to cook it but I am not a fan of microwaving Chex mix. I love the toasting of the ingredients that the oven brings to this recipe. There is something nostalgic about waiting the hour and anticipating the goodness of the hot Chex mix coming out of the oven. Plus, I don’t have a microwavable bowl that is big enough to hold this recipe.
Pumpkin spice flavored Chex can be made in a Crockpot but you are going to need a large slow cooker. This recipe has 13 cups of dry ingredients and needs a large slow cooker.
