This pool party-inspired snack mix includes Coconut Rum Seasoning mixed with Chex™ cereal, Goldfish, Cashews, and Popcorn for a summer treat that will please everyone!
If you put the words “coconut” and “rum” in front of any kind of food, you’ll catch most people’s attention. I sure did when I brought this to a 4th of July pool party last weekend.
It’s got insanely addictive crunchy, salty, delicious flavors with hints of coconut goodness! The bowl was empty before the hot dogs and burgers hit the grill.
I definitely turned the pool party into a cool party by bringing this Coconut Rum Chex Mix, so you should definitely do the same ; )
Pepper Palace Coconut Rum Seasoning packs a punch of tropical flavor, making it a real treat for cocktail lovers. It’s sweet, salty, coconut-y flavor makes it a fun and festive addition to classic Chex Mix.
While there are traces of rum in the spice blend, it’s not enough to get you tipsy…sorry to disappoint. It’s merely a faint aroma. So yes, that means minors can enjoy this snack too!
This easy recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser and extremely versatile. Use whatever nuts, crackers, or pretzels you like.
