We Tried That: Chex Mix Remix Buffalo Chicken Sandwich Has Some Seriously Spicy Pieces

It might not be the Flamin' Hot collab that multiple snacks seem to be doing these days, but when General Mills rolled out Chex Mix Remix Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, there was no doubt that we had to try it out. It is, after all, another one of many foods that rely on the heat and crunch that take plenty of chips or chip-adjacent snacks up a notch.

Just in case you're feeling a bit of déjà vu, yes, Chex Mix does have a Bold flavor already.There's even another buffalo flavor called MAX'D Buffalo Ranch, and a MAX'D Spicy Dill. But this heat is a little different, and the bag of Chex Mix Remix Buffalo Chicken Sandwich has enough deep red and thickly coated pieces to make you aware of that right off the bat.

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

The kick of buffalo heat is there, don't get it twisted. But thanks to the iconic different shapes of the snacks in the bag, not all of the pieces have the same amount of heat, so there's a healthy mixture of what you pop into your mouth. The overall flavor tastes almost like your typical buffalo chicken dip, and if that's the goal, then Chex definitely hit it with this one.

And really, it's all in the shapes of the Chex pieces. The Chex Mix Remix Buffalo Chicken Sandwich has spices and herb Chex, ranch-flavored wing puffs, toasted breadsticks, and buffalo sauce Chex. The result is a combination of flavors that work together, or even individually, depending on how you devour your snacks.

The idea behind the "Remix" flavors is that Chex takes a new spin on loved flavors. Other options that are out right now include both Cheesy Pizza Remix and Zesty Taco Remix. You can find Chex Mix Remix Buffalo Chicken Sandwich for $4.29 for a 7-oz. bag at grocery stores nationwide.
