It’s been a summer of many things, but it’s known as the summer of chipotle Chex mix around here. I have now dropped off this Chex mix in my sister’s driveway three times. One time it didn’t even make it into the house because it was eaten right there in the driveway so *ahem* some people didn’t have to share it. This chipotle Chex mix is all the flavor you want, with so much heat it makes you miserable. There’s a hint of sweet, layers of garlic, salt and the Chipotle flavoring all come together to create this salty, sweet, garlicy, buttery goodness.

My 15 year old nephew texted me at 10 pm and said, “Problem.” with a photo of an empty food container. That was the fifth batch of this mix I have dropped off in their driveway in two months. To say this is a popular, requested staple around here is putting it lightly. The secret is this sauce.

This chipotle chex mix is a crowd pleaser and you will be asked to make it every time you host! | HonestlyRelatable.com

I’m not sure what makes a food, football food. But if sports were happening, this is exactly what I would be setting out. Perhaps it’s the golden color but this just screams fall to me. It would make a great homemade gift this fall too! It’s hard to say what we are even going to be doing this week, much less a whole season away. BUT JUST KNOW THIS IS PERFECT ALL YEAR ROUND AND PLEASE JUST MAKE THIS CHIPOTLE CHEX MIX.

Am I the only one who wants less stuff and instead is happier with simpler things? I think it’s so sweet when someone drops off a homemade dessert or dish! Not only did it mean they were thinking of you, they took time (which is literally priceless and so valued!) to give you something. Anyway, homemade chipotle Chex mix is a go-to, tasty gift that everyone will love.
