If you love when salty and sweet come together, you will love this Payday Chex Mix! This snack takes just 5 minutes and 4 ingredients to make and tastes just like the candy bar.

Reasons why you need this recipe for Payday Chex Mix:

It’s an easy dessert recipe that takes about 5 minutes to make.

It’s a quick snack idea that satisfies both salty and sweet lovers.

It’s no bake, which means it’s perfect for hot summer days when you don’t want to turn on the oven.

It tastes like a Payday candy bar.

Did I mention it takes just 5 minutes to make?

I love salty and sweet treats. The only problem is they’re really addicting. You know how when you eat something salty, you then need something sweet to balance out the salt you just ate? Then after your sweet treat, you’re left wanting something with salt again? It’s a vicious cycle 😉

That doesn’t ever happen with this Payday Chex Mix. It not only covers the salt and the sweet, but it has the perfect balance of textures too! Crispy chex cereal, gooey chewy caramel, and salty crunchy peanuts.

You just can’t go wrong here, kids!

      Can you order it from Amazon and have them ship it to you?

    The taste was good, but mine never got “unsticky” and was a bit of a mess to eat. Is that how the recipe is supposed to be?

      They do stay slightly sticky, but they shouldn’t be messy. Maybe add a bit less milk to the caramel next time, that will help with the stickiness.

    Okay, I’m in. Just pass the bowl this way. I ADORE caramel and think the idea of putting it in a Chex mix is awesome.

    This looks really good! One question… does it really only keep for two days? Why, does it get soggy? Thanks!

      Thanks, Susanna! After about 2 days the Chex start to soften. It still tastes good, but the texture changes. It tastes best the first two days, in my opinion. Hope you enjoy!
