Hello my husbands name is Adam, he is a chex mix addict. He would eat it everyday all day if he had the choice.:)
This bowl was a lot of fun, people ate some of it, but not much and most of the bowl got thrown away, which for the price of Chex Mix was a waste but it was fun to try.
Chex Mix Bowl (From: Food Network Magazine)
- 2 large egg whites
- 8 cups snack mix (such as Chex Mix or Asian rice cracker mix)
- Cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Beat the egg whites and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl with a mixer until slightly stiff peaks form. Add the snack mix and toss until evenly coated.
Generously coat a 3-quart ovenproof bowl with cooking spray and place the snack mix in it. Crumple a large sheet of foil and mold into a bowl shape about one-third the size of the 3-quart bowl. Coat the outside of the foil bowl with cooking spray and press into the snack mix to make a well in the middle, forming the snack mix into a bowl shape.
Place the bowl with the foil in the oven and bake until the snack mix sets, 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, 5 minutes. Carefully remove the foil. Cool 30 more minutes, invert the edible bowl onto a plate and cool completely.

this is sooo cool! i love chex mix, too, by the way. your husband is not alone in is struggles : )
How long will it keep. Can it be made a few days in advance? How should it be stored?
Break up the bowl into small pieces. Put on baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Crispy and tasty. No waste!
