Chex Mix Remix Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

It may not be the Flamin’ Hot collaboration that many snacks seem to be making these days, but when General Mills released Chex Mix Remix Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, there was no doubt we had to try it. It is, after all, another of the many foods that rely on heat and crunch and take many chips or chip-adjacent snacks up a notch.

Just in case you have a little deja vu, yes, Chex Mix do already have a bold flavor. There is even another buffalo flavor called MAX’D Buffalo Ranch and a MAX’D Spicy Dill. But this heat is a little different, and the Chex Mix Remix Buffalo Chicken Sandwich Bag has enough dark red, thickly coated pieces to make you aware of it right off the bat.

Spicy snacks can be hit or miss. Some of them have just the right amount of heat, while others completely miss the mark and just leave you feeling uncomfortable and in need of a tall glass of cold milk, and maybe even of an antacid. With the Chex Mix Remix Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, whether you’re big on heat or not, there are plenty of other flavors involved, so you don’t feel like you’re just feeling the heat rather than the taste.

Buffalo heatstroke is here, don’t twist it. But thanks to the different iconic shapes of the snacks in the bag, not all the pieces have the same amount of heat, so there’s a healthy mix of what you put in your mouth. The overall flavor almost tastes like your typical Buffalo chicken dip, and if that’s the goal, then Chex definitely achieved it with this one.
