Over the weekend I was busy finishing up gift projects for neighbors, friends, and my kids' teachers and friends. Always on the lookout for fun, homemade gift ideas, I sometimes make my own Chex Mix in large batches to give away at the holidays. With the baking involved in making Chex Mix, however, it was going to take a bit more time than I had to give this year.
Instead, I came up with a new, no-bake version that actually turned out really yummy. I packaged the mix into quart size mason jars and used Amanda's Parties To Go's latest FREEBIE MERRY CHRISTMAS TAGS to make stickers for the front of the jars.
You can

The freebie set includes a page of 2" circles and a page of 3" circles. You may use circle craft punches to punch the designs out or you may carefully cut with scissors if you don't have access to the punches.
I recommend printing onto glossy sticker paper from ONLINE LABELS HERE.
After printing, cut close to the designs with scissors and then punch each one out with your circle craft punch.
Once you've got your labels printed and cut, it's time to make your
No-Bake Chocolate Chex Mix.
- Chex Mix Muddy Buddies (I found large size bags at Sams Club)
- Box of Chocolate Chex cereal (I found mine at Walmart)
- Bag of Mini Pretzel Twists
- Bag of Christmas M&Ms
I LOVE that you can find Muddy Buddies already made up this time of year. If you can't find the mixture, here is a recipe for this part of the mix: MUDDY BUDDY RECIPE
Pour the contents of all your store bought ingredients into
two large bowls and mix together.
two large bowls and mix together.
1. Use Quart size mason jars. I found a dozen at Walmart for about $11. Fill each jar with your Chocolate Chex Mix
2. Place the circle lid on the top of the jar
3. Cut circles from a Christmas fabric approximately 5 1/4" in diameter. Use pinking shears for a fun edging if you have a pair. Screw on the jar lid over the fabric circle.
4. Using hot glue, adhere an approximately 3/4" wide ribbon to the side of the jar lid.
5. Wrap some red & white bakers twine around the jar lid a few times and tie into a bow.
6. Add a candy cane under the bow for a sweet embellishment.
You can make jars and jars of these in just a few hours.
No excuses.... go spread some cheer through the neighborhood!

Is there anyway to download this file without signing up for the yousendit 14 day trial? Thank you so much for sharing I love these but I don't like having to sign up to a different website for every download. Thanks so much!!
Question! I've never tried the chex muddy buddies... are they salty or sweet? (or both?) Trying to find a cute food idea for a Christmas present. The catch... the receiver doesn't like sweets! :P
How many jars were you able to fill with 1 bag of each "ingredient"?
So cute! Thanks for posting!
So cute! Thanks for posting!
These are very cute! I'm planning to make them this weekend. How many jars did you get from one batch?
Thank you for this! How many jars will one batch fill? You can email me at Goofymel24@aol.com
Great teacher Christmas gift!!
What I meant to say is: Chocolate chex ISN'T sold in stores around here; even at Walmart. I had to order the cereal online. Also Walmart doesn't sell quart sized mason jars, just pint sized.
