I'm not sure any of these Chex Mix Snacks will last long enough to think about storing them...haha...but in the slim chance you have extra and are hiding it from your family, then place the Chex Mix into a Gallon size Zip Lock Bag or in an airtight container. Either will work fine!

Erin
Delicious but you will want to add a tiny bit of oil or shortening after you melt the chocolate chips because it was to thick to drizzle. I also doubled the ingredients that are drizzled, it felt like it covered the entire surface that way.
Devour Dinner
Hi Erin, Adding shortening or a little oil can be necessary depending on the quality of chips. You are my kind of person. I always love to double toppings on recipes. YUM!
Gina
If I were to make this to fill goody bags for coworkers and I didn't give the bags out until the next day, would the chex get soggy or stale?
Devour Dinner
Hi Gina!
These is a great snack mix to give away. I have never had a problem with the Chex Mix becoming soggy or stale as long as its kept in an air tight container.
Diane N
Could this be made nut free.....what subs would you suggest?
Devour Dinner
Hi Diane, Better than Sex Chex Mix does not have nuts in the recipe. If you are referring to the Holiday Chex Mix, you could omit the nuts if you wish and make it as listed. They are both wonderful recipes that are addicting!
Diana
Try cookie butter or another bite sized candy bar/candy rather than the peanut butter cups....or maybe coconut.
Devour Dinner
Oh that sounds really good!
