Notes
- You can store this Air Fryer Fall Chex Mix in a sealed container or in gallon-sized Ziplock bags at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- While best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze this Chex mix it in an airtight container for up to a month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
- If you're serving a larger crowd, feel free to double the ingredients. Just make sure your air fryer has enough capacity, or fry the mix in batches.
- To make cleanup easier, try lining your air fryer basket with parchment paper.
- If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
- While the air fryer provides quick and efficient results, you can also make this Chex mix in a conventional oven. To make this recipe in the oven - bake the mixture at 250°F for 40 minutes. Stir Chex mix halfway through to make sure everything is baked evenly.
