Step 1 - Prepare your cannabis oil mixture first. See oil infusion options below. Mix oil well before using. Put your desired amount of oil in an oil sprayer. If using kief, be sure to decarb first.
Step 2 - Preheat the oven to 240 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set it aside.
Step 3 - Measure out a single serving of party mix, approximately 1 ounce and arrange in a single layer.
Step 4 - If spraying: spread the Chex Mix on the prepared baking sheets. Spray the Chex Mix with the oil sprayer in an even layer. Toss or flit with a rubber spatula and spray again until your desired dose is used. Sprinkle on kief, if using.

Step 5 - If shaking: add the Chex Mix to the ziplock bag. Pour the oil in and add the kief, if using. Seal the bag and shake well. Once well coated, transfer to the reserved baking sheet.
Step 6 - Place the Chex Mix in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy perfection is achieved.
Step 7 - Remove from the oven and let the cookie sheet cool to the touch.
Step 8 - Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight bag and label.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cannabis Chex Mix can be brand new to even the most seasoned cannabis consumer, so here are some of the most common FAQs I get asked about one of my favorite snacks from my Well With Cannabis Community.

Can I use cannabis butter instead of cannabis oil?

Melted butter could work for this recipe as well! Check out all of the infusion options above.

How can I sprinkle ranch into my mix?

You can feel free to add in any flavorings when you add in the cannabis oil, leaving you with the perfect ranch mix.

What other seasonings can I try?

A tablespoon garlic powder, dill weed, onion powder, ranch dressing mix, and buffalo chex mix seem to be quit popular. A dill pickle chex mix recipe might have to be my next! However, you could also try using chili powder or even brown sugar. You can also experiment with other types of chex cereals or mix cereals to get the mix you're looking for. (Can you add more bagel chips? Asking for a friend!).

What can I use instead of chex mix?

This method works for infusing all different types of chips and crackers. I've seen others infuse Doritos, Cheetos, oyster crackers, goldfish crackers, cheese crackers, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and more.

Can I use the microwave for this recipe?

No, you want to avoid the microwave at all costs when working with cannabis! The method above is the proper way to preserve your cannabinoids and terpenes.

What's the right dosage for me?

That depends per person! Check out my post on How to Dose Cannabis Edib l es Safely to find out which recommended dosage is right for you.

Can I make this tasty snack mix gluten free?

Yes! Be sure you are swapping the regular check mix for the same amount of cups corn chex mix or rice cereal that is labeled gluten-free.
