Every time we hit the road, I have a container of this Sriracha Chex Mix in the car. It’s savory and crunchy–perfect for a road trip snack!

Ahhh, summer road trips. Growing up they were always a time for me to catch up on my Baby-Sitters Club books and blast mix-tapes on my Walkman in the back of my parent’s car. Now, with kids, it’s quite different. I’ve traded my Janet Jackson mix-tapes in for Radio Disney.

Last year, we took a trip to Mackinac Island with my parents, which was a short 4 hours away. The year before we were brave and took a 17 hour trip to Hilton Head, SC. Now THAT was a bit of a feat with 5 year old twins and a 2 year old.  We drove through the night, which helped a ton! This August, we are heading to Niagara Falls and then back through Ohio–cannot WAIT to have a little vacay!

I am fortunate that my kids are pretty decent travelers. Once we get past the initial bickering, they’re pretty content coloring, reading or sleeping (thank you Benadryl!). We have some staples for the car: clipboards with new coloring books, wet wipes, frozen GoGurt and this SO addicting Sriracha Chex Mix.

Even the kids can’t keep their hands off of this!

This recipe takes regular Chex Mix up a notch with coconut oil for a touch of sweetness (butter is a-okay too!) and spicy sriracha. Even my kids gobble this mix up! I tend to make this quite often on SnapChat and people always ask for the recipe. I figured I should probably have it on my site!  If you don’t own a microwave, you can easily toast this in the oven at 250º for 1 hour.

I bring this to parties and even give it as a gift right in the mason jar! This pairs well with beer for a poker night or an outdoor concert. The possibilities are endless!

Do you have any road trips planned this summer? Are you a sriracha addict like us?

    I’ve started cooking a bit with sriracha for some Asian recipes – it’s quite good.

    And Hilton Head is beautiful! I’ve only been once, for a few hours, when visiting Savannah. One day I will go back. 🙂

    Sriracha chex mix sounds yummy! I’m hoping to road trip Up North this summer, and this sounds like the perfect snack to munch on while driving M-22.

    […] Sriracha Chex Mix. It’s a really simple recipe, but it’s one that everyone request. I make it for road trips, care packages and every gathering! It’s lightened up with coconut oil, instead of butter. SO addicting! Another favorite is my Greek Yogurt Banana Bread. […]

    […] I have to warn you though, this BBQ bacon Chex mix is highly addictive. If you like this snack mix, try my recipe for dill pickle popcorn or Ashleigh’s Sriracha Chex Mix. […]
