This was my second time making a Chex Mix treat on my outdoor griddle. It has become my go-to snack when I’m outside grilling. I like to change things up, use different seasonings from time-to-time. Like this time. This Everything Bagel Seasoning Chex Mix using an outdoor griddle has a wonderful flavor. The seasoning really cranks up the taste from what is already a great treat. And the wonderful crunchy caramelization you get on each and every little tasty morsel, thanks to the griddle, is fantastic. Well, that and hey, it’s fun cooking outside on a griddle!
Make It Your Way
I admit it, I didn’t use the exact ingredients listed for this Everything Bagel seasoning Chex Mix using an outdoor griddle. Not the dry ones at least. The key is just get to around 13 or so cups of ‘stuff’. Chex cereal. Goldfish crackers. Whatever. It’s entirely up to you. Just keep the butter mix the way it is. Don’t mess with that. But go nuts with the snack part all you want. I’m a whatever-I-have-on-hand kind of guy so that’s what I used. Stuff I found in the pantry!
Whoa That’s Batch!
This recipe makes a HUGE amount of Chex Mix. You won’t run out at your next party, that’s for sure. I figured about a cup per person in the serving calculation. That might be a bit much for some. And a bit not-enough for others.

You might have to cook the mix in batches. If I hadn’t had a super-crazy-large griddle I would’ve had to divvy it up. If you have to that’s ok. Just do a little at a time. You will want to do a quick wipe-down of your griddle in-between batches. Little small chunks that break off the cereal and what-not will burn if left on there too long. I use these griddle pads. They attach to a long handle that makes it easy to scrub my griddle clean!

Everything Bagel Seasoning Chex Mix using an Outdoor Griddle
Ingredients
For the dry
- 8 cups Chex cereal or a mix of your favorite Chex cereals
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 cup mini pretzels
- 1 cup bagel chips
- 2 cups corn chips
For the wet
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- â…“ cup Everything Bagel seasoning
- ½ tablespoon garlic salt
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Pre-heat your griddle over low heat. Make sure that it’s clean. Depending on the size of your griddle, you might have to do make the mix in batches. The easiest way to do that is to halve the mix and butter mixture first.
- In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients.
- Melt the butter in a small bowl or pot. Whisk in the remaining ingredients.
- Add the butter mixture to the dry mixture and stir to coat and combine.
- Add the Chex Mix ingredients to the griddle. Immediately spread it out.
- You want to toast the mixture for 2 minutes. Keep it moving constantly or it will brown. You want it to get a little color to it. A little char here and there is fine too.
- Keep the mixture moving as you continue to toast it. You’ll need 5-10 minutes to get it to the desired color and crispiness.
- Immediately remove the mix to a large baking sheet (or two) and spread out to cool slightly.
- Serve warm or cold. Store leftovers in an air-tight container.
